Holidays to St Peter
Home to Speightstown, the second largest town on Barbados, the area of St Peter is home to some of the finest beaches on the island. Often known as Little Bristol due to its historical trading relationship with the British city, Speightstown is one of the earliest settlements on Barbados, dating back to the 1600s. It became a popular trading port during colonial times, gaining its nickname and the town is still steeped in colonial history. Today the town and surrounding area has become a popular destination for holidaymakers, its idyllic sandy beaches and relaxed atmosphere making it perfect for family holidays. With a tranquil and laidback nightlife, holidays in St Peter offer a quieter alternative to some of the more raucous resorts further along the coast.
Unwind and relax with St Peter holidays
The area of St Peter spreads along the north west coast of the island, home to some of the most famous beaches on Barbados. Of particular note is Mullins Beach. With a long stretch of white sand and gorgeous clear water, Mullins beach really does offer a taste of paradise. Kick back in one of the luxury sun loungers and soak up the sun before cooling off in the sea. There are roped off swimming areas along the beach, making it safe and fun for young children. If you are into water sports, try your hand at jet-skiing, getting out further from the coast on one of these zippy machines allows you some great views.
If you would like to see the breath taking countryside inland then a trip to Farley Hill National Park is an absolute must. Once a huge stately mansion with impressive grounds, Farley Hill was turned into a national park after the building was destroyed by fire in 1957. Situated on high ground, the park offers great views out over the dramatic Atlantic coastline. With lush mahogany forests to explore and some great walking trails, Farley Hill is brilliant day out for the whole family.
Situated just across the road from Farley Hill is the Barbados Wildlife Reserve. The reserve is set in similar woodland to Farley Hill and offers the chance to observe the Barbados Green Monkey in a natural environment.
