Barbados has quite a few landmarks that are steeped with historic significance. Settled in 1627, the island can boast of some of the oldest architecture in the “new world” as well as new, ultra-modern infrastructure. Here are some places you won’t want to miss on your visit.
Animal Flower Cave
At the northernmost tip of the island in St. Lucy is the Animal Flower Cave, so named for the sea anemones or "animal flowers" that are found underground. These flowers fascinate visitors when they put up their defence mechanism and "disappear" into their stalk on the approach of any foreign object.
The coral steps leading down to the caves were built around 1912 and they lead to a spectacular view of the pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean. Within the cave are a number of limpid pools, some of which are deep enough to swim in on a calm day.
The cave was featured in one of singer Billy Ocean's music videos and in the Bold and Beautiful soap opera.
