Dover

Dover is located on the south coast of Barbados and is a hive of activity that attracts visitors from all over the world looking for action and excitement.

However, it’s not all about party time; you can still visit Dover in the parish of Christ Church and have a relaxing and rejuvenating experience. It’s all that you make it!

Many hotels also offer all-inclusive packages to enjoy your holiday to the fullest, leaving you relaxed and stress-free.

Other Great Options for South Coast Hotels and Apartments

The south coast of Barbados is renowned for being the liveliest coast on the island, with many activities on offer. There’s great diving, excellent waves for wind and kite surfing, a bustling nightlife, and a broad range of accommodation styles.

You can rest assured that in Dover, you’ll be close to amenities like convenience stores and food outlets, tour operators, water sports activities, and souvenir shopping, to name a few.

You’re also right among the action of the infamous St. Lawrence Gap (‘the Gap’), the island’s hub of nightlife and party vibes, for all your after-dark enjoyment.

Even if you’re not looking for a party vacation, there are still plenty of things to do in this area, like take a trip to the drive-in cinema, or experience the Friday night Oistins Fish Fry.

Why choose Dover?

As you can see, there are many things to do in Dover, and let’s not forget Dover Beach, conveniently located in the middle of the St. Lawrence Gap.

This beach is one of the most visited on the south coast due to the many restaurants and accommodations available in the area.

Famous for sunbathing, swimming, and water sports, this action-packed beach also has vendors selling local crafts, beach volleyball and a playpark, beach chair, umbrella rentals, and so much more.

There’s a lifeguard on duty, shower and toilet facilities, and little shops selling souvenirs, beach essentials, drinks, and snacks.

It’s also opposite a large pasture and Dover playing field – why not take in a local cricket or football match while you’re there and get a taste of life on the island?

Why not stay in Dover?

Activities aside, some excellent accommodation is available in Dover due to its proximity to the Gap.
