Often refered to as "Little England" Barbados boasts some of the most varied conditions for surfing, windsurfing and kitesurfing in the Caribbean. Couple this with a colourful and vibrant local culture, immensely friendly people and some of the best fish cuisine anywhere in the world, and what you have is a brilliant all round destination that will appeal to watersports and non watersports enthusiasts alike.
The wind you get in Barbados is the Northerly trade wind that blows between 15 and 25 knots through its peak season, which is usually between December and March. Outside of this the wind becomes a little bit more erratic, although you could luck out and get an awesome week later in the year.
St Laurence Gap (or the Gap) as it is more commonly known, offers night clubs, bars and restaurants of all descriptions, and caters for all tastes. Some fantastic local reggae bands play at some venues here as well as more famous "dance hall" and "soca" acts. All you have to do is keep an out for posters advertising these events that get posted around the more built up areas. Also make sure, that at least once, you sample the local rum which is now world famous -Mount Gay.
