Barbados' New Hot Spot
The parish of St. Peter is an area located on the northern part of the island of Barbados. The parish is named after one of the Twelve Apostles and patron saints, "St. Peter". Geographically, besides St. Lucy, this parish is the only other parish of Barbados with a coastline on both the east and western coastline of the island.
With the "Platinum Coast" of Barbados extending from the parish of St. James just to the south, this has helped to make the St. Peter one of the island’s new hot spots for tourism. Some mega tourism projects such as the Port St. Charles marina (currently Barbados’ only marina) and the Almond Beach Village exist in the parish of St. Peter.
The parish is surrounded with white-sandy beaches including the world famous Mullins Bay. It also contains many rolling hills and terraces some of which are still covered by sugar cane which was the islands chief cash crop during colonial times.
