Take time out to discover this beautiful island on your own. Barbados
is one of the safest islands in the Caribbean, so venturing out on your
own should be at the top of your list.
Public transportation, which runs regularly along the south and
west coast of the island, helps you come into contact with the locals
and discover the true jewels of this magnificent island: its people.
If the bus isn't your cup of tea, rent a scooter, mini moke or
even a conventional car and go in search of Barbados' many natural
treasures: the spectacular Botanical Gardens, Harrison's Cave (an underground cave with bubbling streams, thundering waterfalls and
deep pools) or even visit a Rum Plantation.
Our last suggestion is a local secret: the town of Oinstins. Oistins,
in the parish of Christ Church, is a major fishing community in Barbados
with a modern fish market and also one of the hottest attractions in Barbados!
Each Friday and Saturday night hundreds of locals and visitors flock to
Oistins for the Fish-Fry, an opportunity to enjoy the very best
local food - fried and grilled fish, fish cakes, sweet potato, macaroni
pie, and coleslaw and so much more. There are numerous vendors to choose
from and seating is readily available. The sounds of island music fill
the air, making for a memorable evening out in a very casual setting!
An experience not to be missed! |

Barbados has earned high marks among well-travelled diners, offering an impressive range of regional and international cuisines to delight your palate. Fine dining ranges from gourmet ocean-front restaurants to authentic island “eateries,” and for a culinary world just beyond your imagination, choose from majestic great houses or festive downtown dining.
Recognition of the quality of dining found in Barbados was confirmed when the Zagat family, printed a Zagat Barbados Restaurant guide in late 2006, making Barbados the first Caribbean island to have such a guide.
