Life’s still a beach in Barbados.

The winter tourist season is still a high point for Barbados as many visitors trade in their white Christmas for a holiday of sun, sand and clear waters. The first week of 2024 is a clear example why this island in the sun remains a top choice for international visitors.

Yesterday, Accra Beach in Worthing, Christ Church, and Pebbles Beach on Bay Street, St Michael, were buzzing with many of those visitors who could be seen splashing in the water and lounging in their beach chairs.

Under the gaze of the intense sunlight, they found shade under umbrellas, trees and the gazebo with many choices of food and cocktails.

Michelle Simon, who arrived on December 23, said she spent her Christmas Day on the beach at Accra sunbathing before heading out to party. (JRN)
