Crane Beach, the Oistins Fish Fry, and the world's oldest rum brand — the Caribbean's sophisticated gem.
Barbados is the Caribbean's most sophisticated island — not just white sand and turquoise sea, but also a British colonial heritage, world-class rum production, and the legendary Oistins Fish Fry. The Crane Beach on the leeward coast appears on many lists as one of the world's five most beautiful beaches, and the surf at Bathsheba is the best in the Caribbean.
