Where Is Barbados Located

The question where is Barbados located? Still seem to pop up when the name Barbados is mention…

And it still a bit funny when some folks start guessing… you would hear answers like is it in Jamaica? Or is it somewhere in New York?

Now in this modern era this is not happing as often… 

Actually this has change since the Barbados Tourism Authority has made a major effort to market the island as the ideal vacation destination.

So with this question still managing to surface we’ve decided to answer the question here…

So where is Barbados? Barbados is the jewel of the Caribbean located in the North Atlantic approximately 13 degrees north and longitude 59 degrees west.

This location makes the island the most easterly of all the islands in the Caribbean island chain…

This location no doubt also gives the island a unique advantage mainly because the islands coastline experience contrasting conditions.

On the western side you’ll find the popular west coast beaches with spectacular white sands, coral reefs and washed by the gentler calmer turquoise Caribbean Sea.

While on the eastern side you’ll find the rugged rolling hills and scenic landscape where the east coast beaches are washed by the more turbulent Atlantic Ocean.

So the next time the question arises where Barbados is located...

Remember it is the small island of spectacular contrast located in the Caribbean Sea 600 miles south east of Puerto Rico… and approximately 300 miles north of the south American country of Guyana.
