Whatever the time of day, the gap is always a bustle of activity and has everything on offer to entertain the masses. Luxury apartments are located next to affordable hotels and budget inns; the best restaurants are located next to the local street vendors; casual karaoke clubs are close to sophisticated cocktail bars and a great atmosphere is everywhere. With a good mix of locals and tourists, St Lawerence Gap will give you a great taste of Barbados and all it has to offer, all set against the serenity of a beautiful Caribbean bay and beach.
Restaurants
