Notes

The Friday Night Fish Fry is a must-do Bajan experience but can be very busy. Other nights offer the same culinary experience with shorter wait times. Better for seaside dining than swimming, Miami/Enterprise Beach to the east or Welches Beach to the west offer better swimming while being a stone's throw away.
