Barbados is located to the east of the Caribbean Sea and is an independent island nation in the western Atlantic Ocean. It is a part of the Lesser Antilles island-chain. Barbados is around 270 miles northeast of Venezuela. The closest island neighbours to Barbados are Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to the west, Grenada to the south-west, and Trinidad and Tobago to the south which Barbados now shares a fixed official maritime boundary with.

Parts of the island's interior which contribute to the agriculture industry, are dotted with large sugarcane estates and wide gently sloping pastures with many good views down to the sea coast. The capital city is Bridgetown and is located on the west coast.

Barbados has one of the highest standards of living and literacy rates in the world. And the island is a major tourist destination. The island of Barbados has a single major airport, the Sir Grantley Adams International Airport. The southern and western coasts of Barbados are popular, with the calm light blue Caribbean sea and their fine white and pinkish sandy beaches. Along the island's east coast the Atlantic Ocean side are tumbling waves which are perfect for light surfing.

Shopping districts are another treat in Barbados, with ample duty-free shopping. There is also a festive night-life available in mainly tourist areas such as the Saint Lawrence Gap. Other attractions include wildlife reserves, jewellery stores, scuba diving, helicopter rides, golf, festivals (the largest being the annual crop over festival July/Aug), sightseeing, cave exploration, exotic drinks and fine clothes shopping.
