Holidays in Barbados' South Coast are filled with sun and fun. Livelier than the island's more upmarket West Coast area, the South Coast of Barbados is home to the well renowned St Lawrence Gap and the slightly more laid back and quiet resorts of Rockley and Hastings.

Speaking of bands, excellent steel bands are part of Barbados' culture and the music is haunting and unforgettable. Rhythm is in the Barbadian soul.

Apart from the amazing hues of blue from the warm Caribbean waters vying with the strident turquoise of ubiquitous swimming pools, local houses and shop fronts are gaily painted and they fairly shimmer in the golden sunshine.

Barbados South Coast holidays are truly unforgettable. Highly recommended as a brilliant honeymoon destination, the south coast has the beautiful beaches, but good infrastructure too and the many restaurants, clubs and lively bars ensure plenty of action when the sun goes down.
