Sports, the choices are ENDLESS Surfing
When the world was created, Barbados was given an abundance of potential for becoming a surfer's paradise. The island's location far out in the Atlantic Ocean allows waves to travel thousands of kilometers on the bottom of the sea to finally unload all the power it developed during it's long journey over Barbados' coral reefs. As Barbados is a Coral island, a coral reef stretches all around Barbados' coastline, providing for unlimited surfing conditions all over. No matter whether a swell approaches the island from a northerly or westerly direction or whether it's moving in from the East or the South, Barbados is guaranteed to have surf somewhere along it's shores at almost any given day of the year.
The East Coast is the No.1 surfspot as far as power and size of the waves is concerned, a spot named Soup Bowl is internationally recognized in the surfing world.
The northern end of the West Coast of Barbados isn't any milder when things are happening. Duppys and some other breaks in the north west can live up to Hawaiian standards easily. While some breaks claim a little effort to get to, the waves of Maycocks roll out on a lovely white sand beach and are easier to access.
Further down the West Coast there is the point break of Gibbs and the
shallow reefs of Tropicana and Sandy Lane. Watch out at Tropicana, don't
even try in low tide when you don't want to become sliced up for Sushi…………….as
it almost happened to the author of these lines……
Along the South coast of Barbados, surfers find what they are looking
for at many spots along the way down to Southpoint on almost any given
day of the year. From Brandons near Bridgetown to Accra Beach the size
of the waves is moderate. So it is at Freids where the cleanest wave one
could dream of rolls out on Cotton Bays' beach. Closer to the rocks short
boarders are in their element and right next to them longboarders find
their dream conditions. At Inchcape,
also Boogie Board heaven begins. The same shorebreak is where they have
to arrange with the surfers and share the waves with them. Quite a spectacular
to watch for Inchcape guests from their terraces when surfers and boogie
borders try to show off their skill and tricks and locals and visitors
alike try to outdo each other. And that's a daily event………….. Don't you think that sounds like surfers paradise? Believe me it is………………Come and check us out at Inchcape in Silver Sands at the most southern point of Barbados where surfers created surfing and windsurfing heaven at Inchcape.
