Dover Beach, Beach in St. Lawrence Gap, Barbados
The wide sandy beach stretches along the southern coast with white sand meeting turquoise waters where waves roll gently onto the shore.
The beach obtained its name from the British settlers who established a port in this area during the colonial period of Barbados.
Local cricket matches at Dover Playing Field across the beach demonstrate the strong British sporting influence in Barbadian recreational activities.
The beach offers equipment rentals for water activities including jet skiing, surfing, and windsurfing, with a lifeguard maintaining safety during daytime hours.
Sea turtles regularly surface near the shoreline, allowing visitors to observe these marine creatures while swimming or relaxing on the beach.
