About the map
Barbados is a single island located in the Caribbean Sea. It’s located near St. Vincent and the Grenadines as well as Saint Lucia. It occupies an area of 439 square kilometers (169 sq mi).
The coastline is estimated to be 97 kilometers around the island (32 x 23 km). This means you can drive around the perimeter of the island in less than an hour.
Luckily, it doesn’t have any volcanoes due to its location from tectonic plates. Also, it avoids storms and violent winds because it’s further away from the hurricane belt. The capital city is Bridgetown situated in the southwest corner of Barbados.

First, the wet season has a prolonged period that runs from June to December. Whereas the dry season is typically from December to May. Fishing and agriculture are major drivers of the economy in Barbados. It’s estimated that around three-quarters of arable land in Barbados is dedicated to sugarcane crops.
