Dover Beach Tours and Activities

Seven kilometres south along the broad coastline from Bridgetown, Dover Beach has an array of sports on offer that set it apart from any other beach on Barbados. Above the surface, speed over the waves on a jet ski or gently surf over the blue depths on a bodyboard. Dive beneath the surface and marvel at the myriad of coloured tropical fish, which dart in and out of the coral and shipwrecks, as well as other fascinating marine life that will keep you exploring throughout the day.The Atlantic Ocean breeze creates the perfect conditions for a whole array of watersports. A windsurfing lesson will see you racing through the water faster than the surfers or, if you have a real need for speed, you can hire a jet-ski here. For the ultimate thrilling experience, ride a dual-hulled sailing boat to tack and glide over the ocean. Dover is one of the most popular beaches on the south coast because there is always plenty to do.To get close to nature, swim and snorkel with the Caribbean sea turtles out from Dover Beach, where the water gently swells under the baking sunshine and blue skies. Almost freed from gravity and in their natural element, you can see these magnificent reptiles as they effortlessly glide underwater.As one of the widest beaches in Barbados, there’s enough space for everyone: for sunbathing, playing in the sand or games of beach volleyball. There’s even plenty of room to browse the vendors for snacks, sunscreen or sunglasses. While you soak up the sun and space, enjoy an ice-cold beer or frozen daiquiri from the bar.Ask one of the locals at Dover Beach what their favourite sport is, and chances are they’ll say ‘cricket’. Popular throughout the West Indies, you can see a game for yourself just across the street at the Dover Playing Field where visiting teams take on the local players.
