Village Life

Oistins Bay Gardens is a great example of how Barbados supports not only local produce but also the community that provides it. This famous fishing village is located in Christ Church and visitors can hand pick their ‘catch of the day’ then choose to have it grilled or fried in front of them. It’s an incredible way to support Barbados’ local fishing community and not many dishes on the island can claim to be fresher.

Founded in 1933, the not-for-profit Barbados Museum and Historical Society offers endless information about Barbados’ rich history and how the diverse groups of its past, including indigenous people, settlers and Africans, helped to build the vibrant community we know today. The museum’s biggest aim is to collect, preserve and interpret Barbadian heritage for its communities. Interactive experiences include furnishings of an 18th century plantation house and a fascinating collection of historical maps of the island. barbmuse.org.bb
