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 Barbados rum for bitter ale. Bajans, as the islanders call themselves, are as West Indian as any of their neighbors, and have tended to appropriate rather than adopt English customs. You'll notice this the first time you check out a local Barbados cricket match, since the gentlemanly English game has a totally different rhythm here. Nonetheless, there are old stone Barbados Anglican churches in every parish, horse races on Saturdays and portraits of Queen Elizabeth hanging on plenty of walls, and Lord Nelson's statue on the Barbados main street. Tourism is big business on Barbados, and most visitors who come to Barbados are looking for that comfortable mix of the familiar peppered with just enough local flavor to feel 'exotic.' So if you're looking for a Caribbean island with plenty of amenities, watersports and nightlife, Barbados fits the bill. Travellers wanting to explore undeveloped areas and get off the beaten track should start looking for another island.
