If you're on a tight budget, you can visit Barbados, list your preference, and decide for yourself which one is the best. Clear, warm waters lap softly on golden sands on Barbados' west coast. This area is known as the "Platinum Coast." If you're planning a family vacation or a romantic trip in the Caribbean, this is the place to stay. The rocky beauty of Barbados' East Coast is well-known. Beautiful mist and froth are created as the Atlantic's rollers crash against large boulders. As you venture along East Coast Road, the Atlantic waves smash over rocks and reefs to make little pools close to the shore.
