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
