Prepare to witness the exhilaration of the Barbados Open Water festival, where swimmers of all abilities, from novices to professionals, gather to test their skills. From our elevated vantage point, the true beauty of Carlisle Bay, the festival’s main stage, is unveiled in all its glory.

Our drone’s next destination awaits on the eastern coast, where impressive drone flying reveals the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. Witness the foamy waves crashing against the island’s reef-protected coast, where the power of the sea meets the resolute embrace of land.
In a brief interlude, our drone gracefully glides over St. Nicholas Abbey, a historic plantation home boasting splendid Jacobean architecture dating back to the 17th century. With its symmetrical layout, ornamental gables, and steeply pitched roof, this architectural gem stands as a testament to Barbados’ rich heritage.
Continuing our flight, we soar over the enchanting Long Pond River, a winding estuary that meanders from the hills to the Atlantic Coast. Here, numeros species of shorebirds, fish, crabs, and other aquatic creatures find sanctuary.
Returning to the coast, we revel in the dramatic grandeur of the rock formations jutting out from the sea, while towering hills stand tall in the background, asserting their majestic presence.
By returning briefly to the west coast we get a wonderful contrast between the rugged beauty of the eastern coastline and the tranquility of the west.
As our drone glides above the island’s landscapes, we find ourselves captivated by the remnants of Barbados’ past. A historic windmill reminds us of the island’s prosperous sugar industry. In its heyday, more than 500 windmills graced the Barbadian landscape, tirelessly crushing sugar cane to extract the sweet nectar that fueled the island’s economy.

The transformation of this area epitomizes the evolution of Barbados, where tradition intertwines with progress, creating a harmonious blend of old and new.
