Barbados part 5 - South Coast of Barbados

South Coast of Barbados - Barbados South Coast
Barbados: The gorgeous Caribbean Sea at St Lawrence Beach and Carlisle Bay

The name "Caribbean" is derived from the Caribs, one of the dominant American Indian groups in the region at the time of European contact during the late 15th century. After the discovery of the West Indies by Christopher Columbus in 1492, the Spanish term Antillas was assigned to the lands; stemming from this, "Sea of the Antilles" is a common alternative name for the Caribbean Sea in various European languages. During the first century of development, the Spanish dominance was undisputed.
