Dazzling coastline is the most beguiling aspect of Caribbean nations. But when it comes to Barbados, the natural scenery is not only limited to splendid beaches rather it is enhanced by rolling hills, sugarcane plantations and secluded pastures. Limestone caverns adds a riddled geographical aspect to the country’s ever-enticing persona. Although it is an independent state but Queen Elizabeth II still acts as the Head of State.
That’s why it is often referred as Little Britain of Caribbean.
