Barbados is the most eastern island in the Caribbean, and is a tiny dot on most world maps with an area of 430 square kilometres(166 sq miles) and the greater part of the 257,082 population live in the capital Bridgetown. Barbados is a Parliamentary democracy within the Commonwealth and the Queen is the Head of State.With 97 kilometres (60 miles) of coastline, Barbados has much to offer its visitors in terms of water sports and beach activities.

Tourists pour into Barbados from all over the world, drawn by the delightful climate, the big blue sea and brilliant white sandy beaches. That is an island scattered with an impressive range of historic sites and, away from the mostly gently rolling landscape, dramatic scenery in hidden caves, cliffs and gullies.The island is largely surrounded by caral reefs extending in some places 3 metres seaward which results in the fine, white sand that makes up beaches. The West Indian culture of Barbados is strong in family life, food and music. The lovely beaches offer good swimming, snorkeling, and diving opportunities with excellent wind-and bodysurfing locations for those looking for more excitement.

Tourism is Barbados' leading industry but the island also produces about 80,000 tonnes of sugar per annum, mainly for the UK market. The offshore business sector has emerged as one of the main growth areas in recent years , now the second largest earner of foreign exchange after tourism.

Barbados climate is considered to be sub-tropical and temperatures for most of the year typically range between 80-86 degrees Fahrenheit (27-30 degrees Celsius).You can find a wonderful combination of weather attributes, bright sunshine and cooling breezes virtually all year round. The moderately high daytime temperatures are balanced by refreshing, cooler nights thanks to the trade winds coming in off the Atlantic.
