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. Barbados has a population of about 260,000 - which is quite high considering its size. With 97 kilometres of coastline, Barbados has much to offer its visitors in terms of water sports and beach activities.
Barbados retains a noticeable British feel. Most islanders are members of the Anglican church, afternoon tea is a ritual, polo is played all winter, and cricket is the national passion -- Barbados has produced some of the world's top cricketers. The tradition of dressing for dinner is firmly entrenched, yet the island is hardly stuffy. You can dine by candlelight facing the sea, in festive company at a sumptuous Bajan buffet, or casually with a burger at the beach. This is still the Caribbean, after all.
