Turquoise blue waters, a sandy coastline as far as the eye can see, an island with unique charm: that's Barbados!

This small island, 38 km long, offers an eyefull with its mix of beaches and cliffs. The Bajan (local name given to the inhabitants of the island) are very hospitable just as the island itself which welcomes you with its beaches of white and pink sand.

It's the paradisiac island for many Montrealer newlyweds. That you decided to play some golf, go on a nature safari or investigate the marine life with a dive, Barbados will have more than one trick up its sleeve to satisfy all your needs.

The average temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius while nights are slightly cooler. Although hurricanes usually avoid this small island, precipitation generally comes and goes quickly. The dry season is usually from January till June.

On a practical note, USD are accepted, but the capital, Bridgetown has a Royal Bank of Canada. And yes! Canadians are regular and welcome guests on this this beautifull little island.
