Welcome to Barbados Tourist:

Barbados is one of the most lush and beautiful of the Caribbean with rolling hills, white sand beaches, cascading waterfalls and a unique underground natural stream found at Harrison’s Cave. 

Barbados (aka Barbaydos) is 21 miles long and 14 miles wide and is the most eastern island in the Caribbean (click here for a map of eastern Caribbean).

Barbados remained under British rule from its first settlement in 1627 to its Independence on November 30, 1966, but British influence is still noticeable on the island.

Among the British traditions are afternoon tea, polo and cricket - a national pastime that has produced some of the best players in the world.

More than 70% of the islands 260,000 residents are descendants from the late 1600s forced African slave trade migration. So, the African influence is also a big part of this island.
