Barbados Marine Life Stamps (1985)

People who love the sea are sure to enjoy stamps from Barbados. These stamps depict glorious sea creatures that represent some of what the waters and coral reefs off of the coast of Barbados has to offer.

Some people think that Barbados is located in the Caribbean Sea, but it is actually located just east of it, in the western Atlantic Ocean. Barbados is a tropical island that tourists flock to year round. The constant trade-winds help keep the island a mild temperature that everyone enjoys. The best time to visit the island is from November through May (to avoid the rainy season).

A few countries inhabited Barbados before the British Empire arrived on the island. Interesting enough, when the British arrived, the island was inhabited only by the feral pigs that were descended from those left behind by the Portuguese years before.

Barbados has been an independent nation since 1966, but Elizabeth II is the Queen of Barbados, as head of state. Because of their location, they are usually spared the experience of hurricanes, but typically receive them about every 26 years.

Regardless of what happened in the past, touring Bardados remains one of life’s most beautiful adventures to be had. The exquisite shorelines, marine life and beautiful landscape that slope’s to the sea are all breathtaking.
