Barbados is an island with gradually sloping
beaches coming from the land below. On one side of the island, notably the North, the beautiful coral and sandstone cliffs rise straight out of the sea reaching several hundred feet in the air. However on the flatter coasts, you may walk for miles and miles along unbroken white sandy beaches. Featuring many reefs and wrecks, Barbados is the place to come to visit with its miles of coral reefs and wrecks, teeming with oceanic life. The Marine Reserve (an underwater park protected by legislation from destruction or damage from careless divers) stretches for four miles, encompassing reefs from Sandy Lane to Colony Club. The beaches combined with the scenery make a great mixture for a Barbados vacation.
