Now fully independent, Little England, as Barbados has been known in the past, has been one of the Caribbean islands with best tourist infrastructure, beaches and nightlife. If not the best! It has also been the safest and with friendliest people. Barbados was not formed due to volcanic activity as its neighbours. It was formed from limestone and coral approximately 80 thousand years ago by tectonic uplifts of various coral sediments. It is the only Windward Island of the Caribbean of not volcanic origin. It therefore has only coral-sand beaches, which are almost white. Barbados is also flatter and has significantly different climate, more agreeable. The beaches are great, and the range of activities is great, the dining and clubbing is fantastic and parts of the landscape, including the cave, allow for great views. There is not much to do for an independent traveller, but it is a beautiful island.
