What to Do in Barbados in Winter 2023

The winter months are a great time to visit Barbados for some sun. Temperatures are more agreeable between December and February with highs in the 80s and lows in the 70s. However, it can be rainy so be prepared to spend some time indoors if needed. There are plenty of beaches to enjoy, both public and connected to hotels and resorts. Go out on a catamaran and go snorkeling in the clear blue water surrounding the island and see sea turtles and tropical fish. Speaking of fish, the cooler winter weather means you can enjoy the outdoor Oistins Fish Fry on the weekend for some fresh seafood. The island is also known for its rum and if you are there in November, then you can go to the Barbados Food and Rum Festival. Rent a convertible to make the most of your visit here.
