Saintly St. Peter, Barbados

Barbados has long been known for being a tropical paradise and the St. Peter parish is no exception. Located on the northern part of the island with easy access to the Platinum Coast, it is slowly growing into a vacation hotspot. With warm waters, beautiful beaches and world-class hotels, you can hardly blame folks for choosing to get a little rest and relaxation in St Peter.

Even with the influx of tourists, there are opportunities to experience nature as it should. The Barbados Wildlife Reserve is located in the parish. It features many unique animals special to the Caribbean including the Barbados Green (Vervet) Monkey, which was brought to the island during the slave trade and has flourished ever since.
