Introducing West Coast
Barbados’ west coast has lovely tranquil beaches that are largely hidden by the majority of the island’s luxury hotels and condos. In colonial times, the area was a popular holiday retreat for the upper crust of British society. These days, the villas that haven’t been converted to resorts are owned by wealthy and famous people from all over the world. Although all the beaches are all public, the near constant development means that you only get a few coastal glimpses.
