St. Lawrence Gap
St. Lawrence, Christ Church
St. Lawrence Gap is a perfect contradiction. A bustling street that runs alongside a quiet and calm bay. High end restaurants that rub shoulders with karaoke bars and old rum shops. Young teens and senior citizens walk side by side. Tequila and Sunday mass are served across the street from each other. However, it all synchronizes perfectly to create an international metropolis. The restaurants are varied and sell Mexican, Bajan, Irish, Jamaican, English, Italian, American and Chinese food. The variety doesn't stop with food; you can also hear Rock, Reggae, Calypso, R&B, Salsa and live music most nights of the week.
Oistins
Oistins, Christ Church
A seaside city if ever there was one, visitors can find all manner of seafood to partake in. On the South Coast Oistins was once the major seaport. It was here that Royalist Barbadians grudgingly pledged their allegiance to Oliver Cromwell and his Government in 1652. It is our principal fishing port and the site of a major fish festival. On the weekends at Oistins you can find all the best local seafood and local charm with music and items for sale.
Baxter’s Road
Bridgetown
