Chief among Barbados island's attractions are its old plantation
houses - places like St Nicholas Abbey and Francia,
superb botanical gardens at Andromeda and the Flower
Forest, and the military forts and signal stations at Gun
Hill and Grenade Hall.
The capital, Bridgetown, is a lively place to visit, with an
excellent national museum and great nightlife in its bars and clubs.
Small and largely visited Speightstown - once a thriving
and wealthy port - is a good place to wander for a couple of hours
then grab a drink on a terrace overlooking the sea.
And, of course,
there are the beaches, from the often crowded strips such as
Accra Beach and Mullins Bay to tiny but superb patches of
palm-fringed sand in the southeast.

 Diving
is excellent on the coral reefs around Barbados, with the good sites
all off the calm west and southwest coasts, from Maycocks Bay in the
north right round to Castle Bank near St Lawrence Gap.
