Holidays to St Peter are a triple-decker treat of azure seas, historic Bajan towns and a tropical forest full of wildlife.
Holidays gone platinum
The parish of St Peter on Barbados' Platinum Coast is a Bajan paradise. Spend sunny days lounging on a palm tree-lined beach or swimming in the sea – if you're lucky, you could spot resident sea turtles. Snap some selfies in Speightstown or hang out with the monkeys at the Barbados Wildlife Reserve.
Bajan beaches
St Peter's got sandy stretches in spades. A fave among the bunch is Gibbs Beach, sporting gentle waves and soft, yellow sand – perfect for kids building sandcastles. Mullins Beach is popular with the surf-and-sail crowd, while Heywoods Beach is a dreamy patch of white sand, coconut palms and crystal-clear water.
Colonial meets Caribbean
Take a stroll inland to track Barbados' colonial past. Georgian-style St Peter's Church, former plantation mansions, the Arlington House Museum and the Jacobean St Nicholas Abbey are all splendidly restored and well worth a photoshoot. While in town, don't forget to sample flying fish and cou-cou – a local speciality similar to polenta that's as fun to eat as it is to say.
