Dover Beach

Dover Beach is a short drive from Bridgetown, near Accra Beach. This is one of Barbados's busier beaches, with both tourists and locals bathing in the calm, clear waters. The sand is sugar-soft, and the beach is rather broad, so you won't have trouble finding a spot to lay your towel and soak up the rays. The beach is backed by the famed St. Lawrence Gap neighborhood, so there are plenty of restaurants, stores, and hotels within easy walking distance. Many of the hotels offer fantastic beachfront patio restaurants, and dining on the beach is a fantastic hobby.

The large and expansive beach is famous for watersports such as Hobie Cat sailing, jet-skiing, boogie boarding, and even windsurfing. The water is highly lively, despite the fact that there are no significant currents in the vicinity. To assure your safety, a lifeguard is on duty at the beach. There are various stalls adjacent to the beach where you can buy drinks, ice cream, snacks, T-shirts, snorkeling gear, sunscreen, sunglasses, and other items. You may often witness a cricket match at the Dover Playing Field across the road from the beach, where visiting teams take on local cricketers, or see Bajan footballers in action.
