The coastal town of Oistins ("Oye-s-tins")is an area located in the country of Barbados. Situated in the southern portion of the parish of Christ Church, Oistins operates mostly as a fishing village, a tourist hang out, as well as the location of the parish church for Christ Church. Oistins is also the location of the former Christ Church hospital, the former Barbados Coast Guard station, and the offshore landing for ships delivering fossils fuels into the island. A relatively recent tradition has developed for tourists in Oistins to join in with locals at the Friday night (and slightly quieter Saturday night) Fish Fry which sees many stalls selling fish meals or local craft all to the accompaniment of loud music. The area is fairly close to many of the south coast hotels in Barbados and has several very attractive beaches, for example Miami Beach.
