Nightlife

Many guests “lime” (hang out/party) at their resorts, which offer live entertainment in season. Still, there are watering holes and music clubs throughout the island – many of which attract an invigorating mix of locals, yachties, and adventuresome tourists. Dinner shows and sunset/dinner cruises are also popular.

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.
