Insider Tips for Barbados

  • Oistins Fish Fry on Friday night is legendary — but any day offers great seafood
  • Bathsheba on the Atlantic coast has dramatic rock formations and surf
  • Mount Gay is the world's oldest rum distillery — the tour is excellent
  • Barbados is the most easterly Caribbean island, so seas can be rougher on the Atlantic side
