« 20 Best Surfing Islands

#7. Barbados: Placed well out in the Atlantic Ocean, the former British colony of Barbados is a great island for surfers. Consistent tradewind swell from the Atlantic means very few flat days and the occasional hurricane swell in season can produce offshore winds and turn east coast spots like Soup Bowl near Bathsheba into world-class hollow pits. Barbados has many accommodation options from megabucks mansions to budget self-catering apartments and the small size of the island means many spots are within easy driving range.
