Barbadians, called Bajans, are warm and friendly souls, always ready to greet you with a sincere smile. Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of the sea by volcanic activity. On the West Coast of Barbados, fine white sand beaches stretch along a blue-green sea and coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkelling and Scuba Diving. Along the East Coast lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. Inland, rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies make for an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. A constant breeze gives Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate. Barbados has much to offer the visitor, from cultural activities, night life, some of the best restaurants to be found anywhere.
