Ah, the beautiful country of Barbados in the Caribbean! Travelers call it “the laid-back Caribbean island,” and for a hundred reasons.
While, like other Caribbean countries, Barbados is known for its fantastic beaches, this island offers it all. Aside from fine powdery sand and brilliant turquoise bays, the Barbadian nightlife will stun you. Don’t forget to explore its UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital, its gardens, and don’t forget to surf on the East Coast. Mingle with the people, too! Here are the details, brought to you by Uber.
Indulge in a traditional fish cutter
Make a guess, a wild, wild guess, and you are right! This is about food. Make sure you don’t leave Barbados without trying this fish cutter. The main difference between a cutter and a sandwich is that the former is made with traditional Bajan salt breads, so those freshly-baked bread rolls characterized by a crusty exterior, and a soft, fluffy inside. Yum, yum, yum!
Cutters may be cheese, ham, butter, and fish, and the Barbados people love these. The best place for a fish cutter, authentic as it is, is at Cuz’s Fish Shack, situated in the carpark of the famous Pebbles Beach. It’s the best!
Stroll down Rihanna Drive
This isn’t a joke, because, yes, no other than the “Umbrella” and “Diamonds” singer has Barbados heritage, that’s right. And so this certain drive in Barbados was named after her.
In 2017, this area, where Rihanna’s childhood home is located, became a national monument and attraction that the general public can visit.
If you wish to see this place where the international pop icon was born, all you need to do is take a five-minute drive outside Bridgetown, the capital city, to what was previously known as Westbury Road, now Rihanna Drive. There, you’ll find a colorful yellow-and-green house, and yes, this is her childhood home.
Surf, snorkel, dive
So, yes, those are plus-three activities, but RSF is treating you to more things to do here. Due to its limestone geology, Barbados has become home to some of the world’s most marvelous coral reefs.
You can snorkel with the turtles on board a catamaran cruise, or go on a risky scuba-diving adventure with Barbabos Blue to explore some shipwrecks. If Positano is all about the views on land by the sea, this is all about under the sea. Looking for surf? Head east to Soup Bowl.
Go camping at Peg Farm
“Peg” is the password of the Batcave after Alfred went ill in “Batman & Robin,” given to the Batgirl, and it’s also the name of the farm in Barbados that offers breathtaking coastal views, peaceful countryside, and unforgettable stargazing.
Visitors take pleasure from nature trails, campfires, outdoor cooking, farm experiences, and refreshing mornings surrounded by lush greenery.
Create or buy pottery
Orrr, explore pottery making in Barbados’ Scotland District, particularly Chalky Mount, where artisans transform local red clay into beautiful ceramics. Watch traditional demonstrations and purchase handcrafted pots, mugs, vases, and souvenirs.
Become a rum connoisseur exactly in its birthplace
Rum is among the chief products of Barbados. The earliest-known mention and dropping of th word “rum” dates to a lease agreement written March 1650 at Three Houses Plantation, which is why rum is part of Barbados’ history ever since.
So, no visit to Barbados is complete without a taste of the island’s rum culture, and luckily there are plenty of ways to do so. Yes, even if you don’t drink too often!
Shop at Brighton Farmers Market
Lastly, go explore Brighton Farmers Market in Barbados, where visitors shop for fresh produce, homemade treats, local crafts, and artisanal products. Indulge in delicious breakfast options while experiencing the island’s welcoming community atmosphere firsthand. There are certainly more, so don’t be afraid to lose yourself in the area!
