St. Lawrence Gap
A dining and nightlife strip about 1.5 km long on the south coast, lined with bars, restaurants and seafront hotels, with several beaches nearby.
St. Lawrence Gap, known locally as The Gap, is Barbados's liveliest nightlife strip. It runs along the south coast in Christ Church parish, and its narrow streets are lined with Caribbean, seafood and international restaurants. In the evening, bars host live music and calypso. At either end the street connects to Dover Beach and Maxwell Beach, where by day you can swim or go kitesurfing. Accommodation is plentiful, making it a base for south-coast holidays. It is about a 10-minute drive from the Oistins Fish Market.
