Barbados
An Island with Endless Possibilities
Barbados is an eastern Caribbean island and an
independent British Commonwealth nation. Bridgetown, the capital, is a
cruise-ship port with colonial buildings and Nidhe Israel, a synagogue
founded in 1654. Around the island are beaches, botanical gardens, the
Harrison’s Cave formation, and 17th-century plantation houses like St.
Nicholas Abbey. Local traditions include afternoon tea and cricket, the
national sport.
On the West Coast, beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green
sea. Coral reefs fringe coast providing excellent snorkeling and Scuba
Diving. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the
strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky
shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds gives the island a mild
and pleasant tropical climate.
