Dover Beach, Beach in St. Lawrence Gap, Barbados
Dover Beach is a wide sandy shore on Barbados's southern coast where white sand meets turquoise waters. Gentle waves roll onto the beach creating a calm swimming environment.
The beach takes its name from British settlers who established a port here during the colonial period. This name reflects Barbados's long connection to British rule and maritime trade.
The playing field across from the beach shows how cricket shapes local life and remains central to how people spend their leisure time here.
Water sports equipment is available for rent including jet skis, surfboards, and windsurfing gear. A lifeguard monitors safety during daytime hours.
Sea turtles regularly appear near the shoreline, giving visitors chances to watch these marine animals while swimming or relaxing. These encounters with local wildlife are what make this beach special.
