Straddling 32 beachfront acres of an 18th-century sugar plantation, this 395-unit all-inclusive resort is large enough to cater to honeymooners, families, and conventioners alike. The rooms are handsome, but the activities (snorkeling, sailing, tennis, golf) are the real lure.

Oistins Fish Fry
On weekends this tiny fishing village is transformed into one big street fair, with savory barbecue chicken and fresh-caught fried fish served from street grills, live reggae and soca bands, and general jollity. It’s cheap, crowded, and quintessentially Bajan.
