Barbados is a coral island, pressed out of sea by volcanic activity long ago. Along the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand reach along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs outskirt the Barbados shoreline to allow for superior snorkel diving and Scuba Diving. On the East Coast an undivided surf is created by the forceful and constant trade winds and the waves hammer against a rough shore. The never-ending breeze of the trade winds provides Barbados a modest and pleasurable tropical climate.

Once you visit Barbados, you'll see it is for the most part a flat coral island with superior beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an fascinating distribution of plant life and animals. Within the Barbados coral core there's a huge array of caves and underground lakes which furnish a superior supply of drinking water that is amidst the purest in the world. Geologically Barbados is unique, being in reality two land masses that united together over the years. This and other anomalies make this Caribbean Island rather fantastic, and there are geologic structures that you'll find solely in Barbados.
