Are your friends trying to convince you to visit Barbados, but you are not sold on the trip? Check out our five reasons why Barbados should be your next vacation destination.
It’s easy to get to Barbados
In most cases, Barbados is just a flight away and is one of the most easily accessible islands in the Caribbean. For North American visitors, direct flights leave cities including Miami, New York, Boston, or Toronto bound for the Grantley Adams International Airport (BGI) and arrive in five hours or less. Our friends in Europe, fear not, as direct flights depart most major cities including London, Munich, and Manchester.
PS: Barbados also caters to private jets and yachts. Dedicated private hangars and ports provide entry to the island.
The Rum
Barbados is the Birthplace of Rum. Is this a reason to visit? Yes. We do believe so!
Tours are available at Mount Gay Rum Distillery, St. Nicholas Abbey, and Foursquare Rum Distillery and will allow you to fully immerse yourself (not only) in the rum-making process but in a bottle or two! Barbados has four rum distilleries currently in operation:
- Mount Gay Distillery began producing rum in 1703 and is the world’s oldest continually operating distillery with 320 years under its belt.
- In the north of the island, we have St. Nicholas Abbey producing an elegant and classic rum called “Annabelle.”
- West Indies Rum Distillery, much to Captain Jack Sparrow’s delight – should he ever run aground in Barbados, is located on Brighton Beach and produces the famous Cockspur rum.
- The parish of St Philip is where Foursquare Rum Distillery and Heritage Park call home. The distillery produces the Real McCoy and the award-winning Doorly’s rum.
The Heritage
Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison join an elite and protected list of heritage sites like the Great Barrier Reef, The Great Wall of China, and the Taj Mahal.
Cit by UNESCO as “an outstanding example of British colonial architecture consisting of a well-preserved old town built in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, which testifies to the spread of Great Britain’s Atlantic colonial empire. The property also includes a nearby military garrison which consists of numerous historic buildings. With its serpentine urban layout, the property testifies to a different approach to colonial town-planning compared to the Spanish and Dutch colonial cities of the region which were built along a grid plan.”
Come journey through the streets of Bridgetown, explore the Blackwoods Screw Dock, tour the Nidhe Israel Synagogue & museum, the oldest synagogue in the western hemisphere. Visit the Barbados Museum and The Garrison Savannah. Both places have knowledgeable and interactive tour guides on the UNESCO World Heritage Site walking tours.
The Food
Barbados is considered the culinary capital of the Caribbean. If food is your passion, join us in October 2023 for the Barbados Food and Rum festival and embark on the gastronomy tour of a lifetime. The cuisine in Barbados is exceptional. The influence of British, African, Irish, and Creole with adaptations from India is hard to duplicate.
Barbadian classics include Macaroni pie, roast breadfruit, fish cakes, pudding and souse, and our national dish Cou-Cou and flying fish. If you do nothing else you MUST visit Oistins Bay Garden. You will find fresh fish, community, and local entertainment.
The Beaches
The island has over 70 pristine beaches with miles of crescent-shaped white sand and is world-renowned as some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
Popular spots include Silver Sands Beach- famous for kite surfing. Rockley Beach on the south coast connects to the boardwalk and offers great swimming options.
Travel to Sunset Crest and Mullins Beach on the west for swimming, snorkeling, and catamaran cruises.
If you wish to unwind and bask in the sun or gain an adrenaline rush with watersports, then Barbados is the place for you.

Barbados is a beautiful Caribbean island with stunning beaches, crystal clear water, and vibrant nightlife. The South Coast of the island is known for its laid-back atmosphere, perfect for those looking for a more relaxed vacation. As locals, we have explored the South Coast extensively and compiled a list of must-visit spots for anyone planning a trip to Barbados.
Beaches
The South Coast is home to some of Barbados’ best beaches. Dover Beach, located in the heart of St. Lawrence Gap, is a popular spot for swimmers and sunbathers. Its clear, turquoise waters and soft, white sand make it a perfect spot for relaxation.
Looking for something more secluded, Miami Beach is a great option. Located in Oistins, this beach is perfect for those looking for a quieter spot. It is great for snorkeling and exploring the underwater world.
Another great beach to visit is Accra Beach, also known as Rockley Beach. This popular spot located in Christ Church, lined with palm trees, offers a wide range of activities, including swimming, sunbathing, and water sports.
Local Cuisine
No trip to the South Coast is complete without sampling some of the local cuisines. We recommend trying a traditional Bajan dish like Flying Fsh and Cou Cou, or Macaroni Pie. For a sweet treat, try the famous rum cake or coconut bread. Many restaurants in the area serve these dishes, so you’re sure to find something delicious to try.
When it comes to dining on the South Coast of Barbados, there are plenty of options to choose from. Here are a few of our top picks:
- Cafe Luna: This restaurant, located at Little Arches Hotel, offers stunning views of the ocean and a menu of delicious Mediterranean-inspired dishes.
- Champers: With its beautiful oceanfront location and menu of fresh seafood, Champers is a must-visit restaurant on the South Coast.
- Tapas: This Spanish-inspired restaurant serves up a variety of tapas dishes, as well as larger plates for those with a bigger appetite.
- Blakey’s Bar and Restaurant: This casual spot is a popular hangout for locals and tourists alike. They serve up a variety of dishes, including fresh seafood and burgers.
Nightlife
The South Coast is home to some of the best nightlife on the island. St. Lawrence Gap is a popular spot for both locals and tourists. It’s filled with restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, making it a great place to party the night away. The vibe is lively and fun, and there’s always something going on.
Try heading to Oistins Fish Fry. This weekly event occurs on Friday nights and is a great place to sample local foods, enjoy live music, and experience local culture.
Activities
If you’re looking for a fun outdoor activity, we recommend checking out the Barbados Boardwalk. This scenic walkway spans 1.2 miles along the South Coast and offers stunning ocean views. It’s a great way to exercise while enjoying the beautiful scenery. Along the way, you’ll also find many restaurants and bars where you can stop for a bite or a refreshing drink.
Another great activity is exploring the Historic Garrison area. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to historic buildings and museums, including the Barbados Museum and George Washington House. It’s a great way to learn about the island’s rich history and culture.
For those who love water sports, the South Coast is a great place to visit for surfing or paddleboarding. Surfers Point is a popular spot for surfing, while the calm waters of Carlisle Bay are perfect for paddleboarding. Both activities offer a great way to enjoy the beautiful waters of Barbados while getting some exercise.
And for those looking for a more relaxing activity, we recommend visiting some of the many spas available. With several treatments, from massages to facials to body wraps, you are sure to find something that will leave you feeling pampered and refreshed.
Conclusion
The South Coast of Barbados is a must-visit destination for anyone planning a trip to the island. With its beautiful beaches, vibrant nightlife, and endless activities, there is something for everyone.

As a homeowner you can rely on our experienced property management team to look after your investment. We will provide guidance on some of the things that you don’t think about until they become an issue.
You Need to Tidy Up Before a Storm
Our team of experienced Property Managers will take the appropriate preventative steps where possible, to reduce or even prevent property owners from being saddled with thousands of dollars in damages should we be affected by weather systems.
Our advice is don’t wait until the hurricane season is upon us, being prepared will alleviate several problems throughout the season.
The team will follow these emergency preparedness steps:
- Prepare emergency kits for their homes and the properties they manage.
- Make preparations for power outages.
- Ensure their gas tanks are kept full.
- Become familiar with more than one route to the properties they manage.
- Provide emergency contact details. This way guests will have direct contact if there are any issues during the storm or hurricane.
- Identify the nearest hurricane shelter and ensure that guests know how to get there in case they need to evacuate.
- Advise in-house guests to have a travel bag with essentials prepared in case they need to evacuate. It should be light and easy to carry.
- If there are pets, at any property the PM will include them in the hurricane preparedness plans.
You Need to Check Your Air Filters
Some things may require technical support, but your property manager will start with the basics to ensure that you and your guests are breathing clean air.
They will remove the filters and inspect them for any evidence of dust buildup or damage. If the air filters are dirty or damaged, these will need to be washed and sanitized, or replaced if necessary. Your property manager will contact one of our designated air-conditioning technicians to follow up and schedule the appropriate maintenance.
You Need to Clean Your Gutters
- When last were your gutters cleaned? We actually keep track! Cleaning gutters and removing any debris that can accumulate is an important part of preventative maintenance.
- A build-up of debris may cause rusting and corrosion and in some instances the debris may cause the gutters to detach from fascia boards making them look unsightly. Therefore, if you want your gutters to last long you need to clean them regularly.
- Regularly scheduled gutter cleaning will also protect your roof from leaks.
- The main purpose of gutters is to facilitate water flowing from the roof to a drain. However, if your gutters are clogged, they will not drain all water from your roof which may result in the excess water finding a way into your home through the roof, and likely causing damage to ceilings.
Think About Landscaping Maintenance
Keep your lawns, hedges, and trees cut and well-manicured. Some homeowners will schedule regular landscape maintenance for beautification, but this is also crucial for maintaining the upkeep of your property and improving its value.
As a homeowner, there are some things you won’t think about until it becomes an issue. Don’t wait. Let our Blue Sky Luxury Property Management team take care of it for you.

Traveling along the South Coast of Barbados? We’re sharing a few historical sites that you can visit and learn more about the history of Barbados.
Top 5 Historical South Coast Sites
- The Barbados Museum – This historic site was the home of a former British Military Prison. The prison was constructed in 1817. In 1930 it became the home of the Barbados Museum and Historical Society. After your visit, a 5-7 minute walk takes you to The Garrison Savannah.

Insider’s tip: Stop by the giant Barbados flag for a photo opp, take the children to the playpark or relax on a picnic bench.
- The Garrison Savannah in Barbados is home to many treasures. Visit the islands’ collection of 17th-century English iron cannons, the Main Guard House, and the Clock Tower. See the change of sentry at noon or experience horse racing. The annual horse racing event is an authentic local experience where you can try sno-cones, hot, crispy fish cakes, and enjoy lots of activities. An 11-minute walk takes you to our next spot: The Barbados Military Cemetry

Take a break, grab a drink at La Cabane, then head over to Needham’s point lighthouse
