Barbados, a magical Eastern Caribbean island, is "an island in the sun" just 21 miles long and 15 miles wide, situated southeast of Saint Lucia and northeast of Trinidad and Tobago. Renowned for its stunning golden beaches, turquoise waters, and coral reefs teeming with marine life, Barbados is a paradise for beachgoers and snorkelers. The island's charm extends beyond its natural beauty, as it is also known for its rich history, demonstrated by historical colonial buildings, old sugar plantations, and the famous Garrison Savannah Racetrack. Barbados boasts an enticing blend of English tradition and vibrant West Indian culture, which is evident in its cuisine, calypso dance, and annual Crop Over festival. Whether you're exploring the lively streets of Bridgetown, enjoying a rum punch on the beach, or surfing the Soup Bowl in Bathsheba, Barbados provides an undeniably unforgettable travel experience.

Barbados is an extremely safe country. As women, we felt safe walking around at night. Locals are all friendly and helpful! The natural landscape is also beautiful. The public transit is quite good for a Caribbean island, and is very affordable. 

The only /slight/ downside is that Barbados is slightly more expensive than other beach destinations. But in my opinion the price is made up for by the safety of the people, affordable /reliable transit, and public beaches.

In Barbados I felt moderately safe since I was followed one day (during daytime) by an older man through the street and inside a shop and then he only stopped when I was on the phone talking with my sister. 
I did an island tour with snorkeling and also visited an animal sanctuary. The snorkeling was not the best since the area had plenty of boats full of tourists, the water wasn’t that clear and only saw one turtle far away. But apart from this it was a very pleasant experience. 
It was not very expensive, the flights and hotel included were around 900£. And also the food was very affordable since the Barbados dollars are less than American dollars. 
I would recommend going to all the beaches, you can easily walk around and all the beaches are free to enter.
The bus is very affordable but I didn’t feel very welcomed by the locals in there. 
It was a good first time solo experience but I didn’t go out at night, thought it was better not to risk it.
