Published: 26 June 2017
Barbados, in the Caribbean, has long been on the wish list of travellers. The combination of pleasant beaches, a lovely climate, fine views and intriguing history make Barbados a popular location.
Should you fancy a few days to explore the island, you just might like the recent development which is "Port Ferdinand".
Port Ferdinand is a modern residential marina which is set on sixteen acres, and can be found just outside Speightstown of the north-west coast. The holiday apartments have lots of amenities to choose from: Port Ferdinand has a swimming pool (as seen in the photo below), gym and spa; with the Dockside Deli for casual meals, and a more formal restaurant. You even have a golf simulator for those wanting to improve their game.
Should you want to venture out and explore traditional Barbados, the nearest place to head is Speightstown. Speightstown is only a couple of kilometres from Port Ferdinand, and is one of the island's major towns with a long and intriguing history.
Much of the character of Speightstown can be found in its architecture - the historic buildings date back to the early settlement of Barbados; and are located next to modern buildings which show off a developing nation - and in its people. There are locals selling fresh fruit and vegetable, with fishermen unloading their catch along the jetty. Speightstown was one of Barbados' busiest ports, and has undergone a transformation as an active and vibrant town, although the town still maintains a colonial charm.
