<h2 class = 'uawtitle'>Barbados - Places To Go, Things to Do</h2><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawbyline'>by David Hughes</div><div class='uawarticle'><br />Barbados is a jewel in the Caribbean islands, and has a great deal to offer to people visiting the island. Barbados was named by the Portuguese and means 'bearded one'; this is either because of the fig trees that have long hanging roots, or the foam formed by waves breaking on the cliffs. No matter what the reason, Barbados is the flawless tropical island to come for a vacation to - or even get married on. Barbados has an international airport, where there are flights every day coming from and going to destinations world over. There are many great hotels and resorts to stay in while visiting Barbados. Bridgetown is the capital of Barbados, and there are 11 administrative parishes in Barbados. <br />

For those who want to soak up the sun and relax on the beach, Barbados has a 60 mile coastline. In Barbados there are plenty of activities that can be enjoyed on its sun soaked beaches such as swimming, scuba diving, sea sports, sailing, and light surfing. There are sailing and motor boats that can be hired to sail or tour around the island on, or you can visit one of the neighbouring islands using the boat.<br />
<br />
Shopping is also very attractive as there are plenty of duty free shops in Barbados and impulsive shoppers find them a huge attraction. The mangrove swamps of Graeme Hall Nature is filled with brackish water and two varieties of mangroves - and thousands of egrets return here for the night, which makes it a place to visit for nature lovers.
