Discover Oistins

Every Friday evening, the fish market turns into a lively street festival with grilled fish, live music and dancing, drawing both locals and travelers from all over the island.

The town is considered the most important fishing harbor in Barbados, where fresh catch ranging from flying fish to tuna is landed daily and sold directly at the market.

The nearby Miami Beach, also known as Enterprise Beach, offers calm water and fine sand and is considered by locals to be one of the most beautiful, less touristy beaches on the south coast.

Away from the large resorts, Oistins offers an unpolished glimpse into everyday island life, with small food stalls, fishing boats and a warm, down-to-earth atmosphere.

Oistins lies on the south coast of Barbados, about 15 minutes' drive from the airport. Taxis, rental cars and regular public buses connect the town directly with Bridgetown and the southern coastal towns.
