Barbados Travel Tips

Barbados

Barbados is the 'Little England' of the Caribbean, but not so much so that the locals have given up rotis for kidney pies, or rum for bitter ale. Bajans, as the islanders call themselves, are as West Indian as any of their Caribbean neighbors.

During a period of low rain from December til May the mercury usually peaks just under the 86°F (30°C) mark, making the conditions in Barbados at this time highly visit worthy. Later in the year, the temperature gets only slightly warmer but rainfall is substantially heavier.
