Over time these two land masses merged together creating the isle we now know as Barbados. Barbados lies on the boundary of the Caribbean and South American continental plates making it unlike any other Caribbean Island. Within the core of the island, made up mainly of coral sediment, numerous caves and underground lakes can be found. Arguably the most famous of these is Harrisons Cave; a network of caves, waterfalls, pools and fantastic stalagmites and stalactites. Emerald Beach happens to be located in the vibrant West Coast, where you can find natural beauty, safe swimming spots and plenty of activities all in one. It is also the best spot to enjoy long walks on the beach at sunset. Gibbes beach is considered one of the most peaceful and unpopulated of the island, giving you a well deserve relaxed atmosphere. You can also head 7 km south of the coast to the buzzing Sandy Lane beach, the favourite swimming spot for the rich and famous! Inland Barbados is delightful to explore, enchantingly quiet and rural, there are endless fields of sugar cane dotted with old plantation houses. Barbados has a rich and interesting history and has preserved and restored many of its historic buildings – you can visit a plantation house for a trip back in time, see the towering lighthouses that once led ships to safety, or explore the historic towns that are an important part of the islands past and present. Whilst on Barbados, a taste of the islands rum is a must! The isle has been producing rum for over 350 years, and it is recognised internationally for its quality. Many tours and taste sessions are available at the local distilleries.
