Answer#3: No, Barbados is an independent country in the easternmost Caribbean and it's for sure nowhere close to Jamaica. By plane, it's about an hour to Trinidad from Barbados. It's close to St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and not far from St. Lucia.

Answer#5: They are independent countries but both are members of the British Commonwealth. Check the site below for a Caribbean map. You will see Barbados is much farther South/east .


Answer#6: Um, no. It's a whole seperate island. Buy an atlas.


Answer#7: Barbados (IPA: [bɑrˈbeɪdos]), situated just east of the Caribbean Sea, is an independent island nation in the western Atlantic Ocean. At roughly 13° North and 59° West, the country lies in the southern Caribbean region, where it is a part of the Lesser Antilles island-chain. Its closest island neighbours are St. Vincent and St. Lucia to the west, Grenada to the south-west, and Trinidad and Tobago to the south, with which Barbados now shares a fixed official maritime boundary.Barbados's total land area is about 430 square kilometres, (166 square miles), and is primarily low-lying, with some higher regions in the island's interior. The organic composition of Barbados is thought to be of non-volcanic origin and is predominantly composed of limestone-coral. The island's climate is tropical, with constant trade winds off the Atlantic Ocean serving to keep temperatures mild. Some more undeveloped areas of the country contain woodland and scrubland. Other parts of the interior which contribute to the agriculture industry are dotted with large sugarcane estates and wide, gently sloping pastures, with many good views down to the sea coast.Barbados has one of the highest standards of living and literacy rates worldwide. Despite its small size, Barbados's Human Development Index ranking is consistently among the top 50 in the world. For example, in 2006, it was ranked thirty-first in the world, and third in the Americas, behind Canada and the United States. The island is also a major tourist destination.


Answer#8: No, Barbados is an Island Nation itself... It is part of the West Indies, or the Caribbean Islands though... It is one of the Lesser Antilles ( The small Islands on the tail end of the Island chain) close to St. Vincent and St. Lucia... Hope this helps...


Answer#9: No, Barbados is a different island. They are both different countries/islands in the Caribbean region.
