With just 166 square miles, the tiny little country of Barbados has more than 100 beaches – each as unique and diverse as the island itself. No wonder, every visitor to the country has his favourite. Barbados beaches are definitely some of the best and the most beautiful in the world; although some more popular than others. Here’s a list of 5 of best Barbados beaches:
