About Oistins

Oistins is the south coast's working fishing town, best known for the Oistins Bay Garden Friday Fish Fry, a weekly institution where locals and visitors gather for grilled fish, rum and street music. Beyond the festivities it is a genuine Bajan community with a fish market, beaches like Miami (Enterprise) Beach, and a relaxed, unpretentious character. For investors, Oistins offers value and authenticity. Condos and homes price around US$250-500 per sq ft, with entry units from roughly US$150,000, among the most accessible on the south coast. The mix of tourist footfall and local demand supports 5-7% gross yields, and proximity to the airport and Miami Beach boosts short-let appeal. Tracking national ~6.8% growth and benefiting from rising south-coast investment, Oistins suits budget-conscious buyers, with no capital gains tax for non-residents on resale.
