With its fine year-round weather, Barbados makes the most of its sporting potential. Cricket is the national sport of Barbados from ad-hoc friendlies on the beach to international test matches. Golfers are well catered for with the 18-hole course at Sandy Lane, The Club Barbados 9-hole, and the Royal Westmoreland 18-hole course situated in the hills above the west coast in St. James.

Motor sport is very popular in Barbados with the Barbados International Rally taking place in late May attracting huge crowds.
