Barbados has the Atlantic Ocean to one side and the Caribbean Sea to the other.

Barbados is made of limestone and only measures 166 square miles, it reaches 21 miles in length and 14 miles in width, however it is rich in history and culture as it is in beauty with a population of roughly 270,000 and the capital city is Bridgetown located on the southwest coast.

Barbados is a relatively flat country with only one major incline and that is Mount Hillaby, which measures 1,089 feet above sea level.

The weather in Barbados usually ranges from 24 degrees Celsius in the winter months December to March, to 30 degrees Celsius in the summer months May to October. The hurricane season runs from June until December when humidity can be quite unpleasant but the rest of the year enjoys cooling northeast trade winds.

English is the official language spoken with a Barbadian dialect, which can sometimes be tricky to understand.
