Having said that, we at Totally Barbados also recommend the following publications to help you with your planning, both before and during your trip (or your weekend island getaway):
— Ins & Outs of Barbados

There’s also the Totally Barbados
events calendar
– a day by day calendar with a rundown of all the latest events on the island so you can plan your entertainment and ensure you don’t miss any of the action. There’s no shortage of things to do and see here on the island, both during the day and after dark, on the sand or on the sea.
You’ll also find Explore our Isle Barbados, a quarterly publication which again details Bajan history, culture, activities, cuisine, real estate, shopping and so much more.
