Dover Beach, Barbados If you’re not coming to Barbados for Crop Over (you should be), you can still enjoy the island’s intoxicating mix of breezy beach fun and energetic sophistication, particularly on the island’s increasingly cool South Coast. The epicenter here is Dover Beach, where blinding white sands meet the vibrant bustle of the St Lawrence Gap. Where to stay? The buzzy new O2 Beach Club and Spa, a refreshingly different kind of all-inclusive.
