WEATHER AND BEACHES

One of the main reasons for Barbados' popularity is its weather. No Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD syndrome) here where the sun shines for most of the year. Whilst temperatures are a little higher in the summer months, the weather is generally between 28 and 32 degrees centigrade. It is hotter and rains a little more in the summer months but this is the tropics and in between the rain showers are long spells of sunshine.

The beaches in Barbados are picture perfect with wide stretches of sand. Unlike the European beaches they are not crowded, even in high season. All beaches in Barbados are public which ensures that locals, tourists and owners are not excluded from them.

FRIENDLY PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENT

One of the reasons why visitors return again and again to Barbados is because of its friendly people. Bajans are generally happy people who will welcome you with a smile. It is obvious that they are appreciative of the beautiful island they live on. This comes across in their welcoming attitude towards those living on and visiting the island. The Bajans live in sunny climes and enjoy a sunny disposition. We love the Bajans, their easy going approach to life and their gratitude for life's simple pleasures.
