About ST LAWRENCE GAP
City St. Lawrence Gap – The Night Life Hub of Barbados
The St Lawrence Gap, more famous as “The Gap” is in Southern Barbados is the party hub of Barbados with a multitude of dining, shopping and night life options. Popular among locals and visitors alike, Gap falls is in the Christ church parish. A scintillating night life has always been the trump card of this city, which is equally famous for exciting shopping options and a great social life.
History
From being a sleepy fishing hamlet, this city has evolved to be a hot tourist destination in the recent past. Bordered by Oistins to its east and Worthings to the west, it still preserves the Bajan heritage.
Popular Places
Beaches set the right backdrop for an array of activities including surfing, snorkelling and swimming. Dover Beach in Gap offers half a mile of sheer delight in the form of sun and sand for outdoor enthusiasts. Shallow beaches like Sandy Beach are calm and are ideal for swimming and for families. The wind conditions in the South coast make Gap an ideal spot for windsurfing as well. Enjoy a lively and younger crowd in this city, where night life is a huge draw.
Apart from beaches, Gap has many other interesting tourist spots including the Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary in Bush Hill, which has some of the last remaining pristine wetlands and a bird sanctuary. There is always room for a round of golf while you are in this city or in case you wish to have a brush with the heritage of Gap; all you need to do is to head straight to the Tyrol Cot Heritage Village, where you can catch up with the artisans at work.
