A whole cornucopia of beautiful sights and sites await those planning to get Barbados travel hotel accommodation in or near the northern part of the island. Here is a list of some of the most beautiful places on the north coast that no tourist should miss.

Speightstown – This old town in northwest Barbados used to be a major port in the Caribbean. It was also an important fishing town. The old country charm is very much in evidence with the quaint houses and balconied buildings that really bring out the character of the old town. There are some nice beaches, quaint restaurants, and great places to shop.

The Light House at Harrison Point – This is another historic site on the island that is popular with photographers. One might have to ask around St. Lucy Parish and drive down some dirt roads before finding it, but it’s worth it for those interested. The place is famous for its impressive view of the tip of the north coast.

The Caribbean Art Gallery – Visitors who are already in Speightstown and are interested in Caribbean art will surely find this museum to be an important venue showcasing the region’s best art. The museum hosts many art exhibits throughout the year featuring the best sculptures, photography, and paintings from Haiti, Cuba, Jamaica, Guyana, Barbados, and other neighboring areas.

Iglesia de Santa Lucia – Iglesia de Santa Lucia is one of only six original parish churches in history on the island. It was erected as early as 1629. At first, the church was made of wood, but over time and due to weather-related disasters, the church was rebuilt. In 1741 the church was finally built in its stone structure. The final Georgian-inspired architecture of the building was done in the year 1837. The building has a magnificent tower and is constructed of sawn rock.

The Barbados Wildlife Reserve – People who have rented hotel rooms for trips in Barbados in the north know that the north coast of the island has always been known for its wild nature and beauty. That is why the wildlife reserve is located here. Going inside is like stepping into a scenic forest of winding trails through the beautiful reserve. Many of the island’s natural and introduced species are housed here. Barbados green monkeys, tortoises, pelicans, otters, peacocks and agoutis are just a few. There is also an aviary with impressive birds. However, it should be noted that this is a reserve, not a zoo. Due respect must be had for the natural habitat of the animal.

Pico Tenerife: Those who want to have one or perhaps the most beautiful view of nature on the island should go to Pico Tenerife, also known as the cove of the bay. The panoramic view of the land and seascape reaches as far as Ragged Point on the east coast. One will be greeted by the sight of cliff overhangs in a very cavernous cove that is dotted with peaceful tropical casuarina trees. This is definitely one of the best reasons why people who rent Barbados hotel accommodation travel to the north.
