Barbados

Built around sugar plantations established under British colonial rule, Barbados grew into an independent Caribbean island state. The Atlantic shapes its rugged eastern shore, while the calmer Caribbean Sea meets beaches and reefs along the west coast. Much of the island is formed from coral limestone, and its compact size makes the contrast between coastal districts and inland communities especially apparent. Historic Bridgetown and its Garrison are recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, while the Crop Over festival continues traditions linked to the end of the sugar-cane harvest.
