Barbados is to the east of the Caribbean sea.
In this form a is equivalent to the English "to" and el is of course "the." Hope that helps.
Oh and "is" is "esta" not "al."

If I remember correctly, 'al' is a contraction of 'a el,' or 'to the.'
Hope this helps.

--al mar means --a el mar [by the sea]With this word -mar-- you may use either-el-- or --la--.A la mar or al mar is o.k.
