 Oistins, in the parish
of Christ Church, is a major fishing community in Barbados with a modern
fishing market.
At Oistins, the visitor can see Barbadian fishing boats (at right) and
the weaving of fishing nets by local fishermen.
Oistins is the site of the annual Fish Festival
which honours those who contribute to the local fishing industry. Just
around the corner from Oistins is Miami Beach,
a great place to take a swim!
This was the site
of the clash between Royalists and Roundhead supporters in 1639. This
clash centered around the bid for independence of Barbados from Cromwell's
England. As a result of this confrontation, the Articles of Agreement
were drawn up to form Barbados' own parliament - the third oldest parliament
in the entire Commonwealth.
