Barbados

Barbados sits alone in the Atlantic, east of the Caribbean arc, shaped by centuries of sugar, cricket, and sea. The island's west coast is calm and turquoise; the east faces the open ocean with rougher surf and rugged cliffs. Coral limestone forms the spine of the interior, where old plantation houses stand among fields that once ran exclusively to cane.

About Barbados

Overview

Barbados is an island nation in the western Atlantic, roughly 430 kilometres north of Venezuela. Bridgetown is the capital and main commercial centre. English is the official language and the Barbadian dollar is the currency, pegged to the US dollar. The island's identity is rooted in its British colonial past, a deep cricket culture, and a largely Afro-Caribbean population that has built a distinct national character over generations.
