Dover Holidays

Located on the southern coast, the Saint Lawrence Gap is one of the most popular, and tourist heavy areas in all of Barbados. Because of this, there is no surprise that Dover Beach has quickly seen a massive increase in tourist popularity, seeing as it is located right off of the Saint Lawrence Gap, this beach is now one of the most popular beaches in all of the Caribbean, and is a perfect destination for those looking to have a wonderful, relaxing and exciting beach vacation.

Dover Beach makes up for being extremely popular by also being very wide, which means that there is always a lot of room for everyone looking to enjoy the wonderfully soft, golden sand and warm, crisp water. This is a good thing, because the beach is not only popular among tourists and world-travelers, but also among locals from all over the island.

While Dover Beach is the perfect place for spreading out a beach blanket and relaxing in the sun, letting the stresses of your normal life wash away as you soak in the Vitamin D. Though relaxation and swimming are two of the top activities available for tourists to partake in at the beach, they are not the only things waiting for you and those your travel with. While the water at Dover Beach is generally calm with no real strong currents, weaker swimmers or families travelling with kids can rest assure that their day on the beach is in safe hands as there are lifeguards on duty at the beach in order to ensure the safety of everyone while they splash around and enjoy themselves.

Dover Beach is the ideal location for a wide variety of water sports and other on- and under-water activities. Some of these include hobie cat sailing, jet skiing, bookie boarding and even wind surfing. Of course, there are also plenty of scuba diving and snorkelling available for vacationers who are looking for a little bit of adventure to go with their relaxation.

If riding waves, or diving deep under them are a little too wild for you, there are more relaxing activities such as fishing and golf available. The fishing available in, and around Dover Beach is some of the best in the world, and the golf courses in the area are championship caliber and pristine.

If you do not think you will have time to fit 18-holes in, or take an afternoon or two for fishing, but do want to partake in sports while on vacation you are still in luck. Located near Dover Beach is the Dover Playing Field, where you will be able to catch the local cricket team take on their rivals, or take in a few hours watching the Bajan footballers.

While all of the wonderful restaurants, and the plethora of hotels, and resorts in the area are wonderful upsides for planning a vacation to Dover Beach, there are other benefits, as well. One of these is that the weather is so nice, nearly all year round, that there is no real bad time to book your vacation.
