The name Barbados automatically conjures up tantalizing images of white sand beaches, crystal clear water, palm trees and rum punches. While the island has all of those amazing things, it also has much more to offer!
On your trip to Barbados, try to peel yourself away from the idyllic beaches to explore some of the island’s lesser-known areas and also enjoy the country as the local Bajans do.
