Barbados is endowed with glorious beaches that are ideal for all types of water activities and sports, be it extreme or moderate. In other words, the beaches are excellent for snorkeling, diving, and of course, swimming.
On your Barbados holidays, you will get to see the region's loveliest coastlines. If you are aiming for the beaches with the most peaceful water, then the best place to go is down the length of the western coast. In this spot, the best beaches to choose from are:
1. Mullins Bay
2. Sandy Bay
3. Paynes Bay
Down the south eastern part of Barbados, the top choice is the Crane Beach. As a matter of fact, this beach is included in the list of top 10 in the world. Then again, although this pink sanded beach is best for bodysurfing, swimming is not so great here because the water can also be rough.
The part where the water conditions are generally not for surfing or swimming is the eastern coast. The water current in this area is strong and full of rocky shelves so water activities are usually discouraged.
Now, the best beaches for diving, snorkeling, windsurfing, and swimming are located in the western coast. You will also find the most vibrant sponges and amazing corals here. The Berwyn is recommended for snorkeling since there are plenty of shipwrecks to see around the area.
At any rate, here are a couple of water activities to enjoy on Barbados holidays:
