The barrels are small and usually located near several pirates grouped together. You'll have to kill the pirates to get at the barrels, so don't bother attacking solo pirates unless you need to. By the time you finish this quest you'll have killed 20+ pirate -- more than you need to complete the objectives.

Where to go
