Tropicana is good but extremely dangerous - Tropicana is a great break (very hollow, fast), but there is about 2 feet between you and the reef. The reef is fire coral!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody answers! - Look at the last few pages of comments and pretty much all of the posts are questions. You would think people would realise that nobody answers them. I don't know why but this place clearly isnt where your gonna find out about Barbados. What makes people think that someones not gonna answer the previous 1000 questions but answer theirs? Stupid

barbados=BEAST - Im fourteen, and i live in north florida. But i went on a surf trip to barbados. the southern beaches are where you need to be. Nice barrels and everyones really cool. But When your about to hop on dont look down cause all you see is fire coral and when you eat shit your gonna be hurting.
