Exciting water sports and activities to do on vacation in Barbados

Barbados is endowed with glorious beaches that are ideal for all kinds of water sports and activities, be they extreme or moderate. In other words, the beaches are great for snorkeling, scuba diving, and of course swimming.

On your Barbados vacation, you will be able to see the most beautiful coastlines in the region. If you are looking for the beaches with the calmest waters, then the best place to go is along the western coast. In this place, the best beaches to choose are:

1. Mullins Bay

2. Sandy Bay

3. Paynes Bay

In the southeastern part of Barbados, the best option is Crane Beach. In fact, this beach is included in the list of the 10 best in the world. On the other hand, although this pink sand beach is the best for bodysurfing, swimming is not so great here because the water can also be rough.

The part where the water conditions are generally not for surfing or swimming is the east coast. The water current in this area is strong and is full of rocky slopes, so water activities are usually discouraged.

Now the best beaches for diving, snorkeling, windsurfing and swimming are on the western coast. You will also find the most vibrant sponges and incredible corals here. The Berwyn is recommended for snorkeling as there are many shipwrecks to see in the area.

In any case, here are a couple of water activities to enjoy on vacation in Barbados:

• Body boarding

Carlisle Bay is the popular place for body boarding. It has about 2 miles of brilliant white sand and the water is always calm and clear. In general, the bay is amazing, so it really deserves the recognition it received. In 2003, it was voted the number 1 beach in the Caribbean.

In addition, you will have fun snorkeling in the surroundings, as you will have the opportunity to take a good look at the famous shipwrecks. You will also witness the busy tropical marine life underwater. It is so alive and bustling with marine activities.

• Surf

Do you love surfing? Are you a surfer? If so, you probably already know that Bathsheba in the Caribbean is the perfect place to surf. This spot is popular with surfers from all over the world and they go there just to experience a good ride in the waters.

• Jet ski

This water sport is available on some beaches in Barbados. Just look from one coast to another to see which ones offer this activity.

If you are on the south coast you can enjoy water skiing at the boatyard, Charles water sports or Dover beach. Also, if you find yourself in the western part of the island of Barbados, try jet skiing at Sandy Lane Beach, Mullins Bay and Paynes Bay.

Finally, all of these water sports that you can experience during your Barbados vacation are safe enough for everyone. However, younger children can also do these activities as long as they are supervised by adults.
