Tiger Woods has had a lousy couple of months on the links and off, but one of the golfer's happiest memories was of his 2004 wedding in Barbados; his nuptials at the Sandy Lane resort included fireworks, a concert by Hootie and the Blowfish and, of course, lots of golf.

You may not be able to get Hootie to entertain you during your stay, but you'll never lack for things to do in Barbados, as my new Barbados Island Guide explains. In addition to top-shelf restaurants and resorts, there's lots of history, natural beauty, and great culture to soak up in the island they call "Little England."
