Activities & Nightlife - Oistins:
A trip to Barbados just isn't complete without a visit to the famous and newly renovated Oistins Fish Fry. On Friday and Saturday evenings, revelers can indulge in some flying fish and rum punch or Banks Beer. Mingle with the locals that flock to this popular hangout where tasty food, lights and great music create a delightful atmosphere of Barbados' rich fisher folk culture. Oistins upgrades include new vendor stalls, improved sanitation, lighting and entertainment facilities, yet the traditional mold remains intact.
Activities - adventure and sightseeing:
After a year of redevelopment, Harrison's Cave, Barbados' most popular visitor attraction, recently re-opened during the first week of January 2008.

The newly improved cave features a fleet of six new trams -- two are wheelchair

Additionally, a Cave Interpretive Center has been added to the gully floor and features a multi-media presentation that holds up to 40 people, interactive displays, an enhanced passenger boarding area, washrooms, souvenir shop and snack bar.
Golf:
Fodor's 'Caribbean 2006' travel guide says of Barbados... 'Golfers can choose from among some of the best championship courses in the Caribbean.'
