"The Gap" is a place where various cultures meet and merge. It is an experience that should not be missed and is within walking distance from the resort! A stroll through The Gap reveals a number of nightclubs, catering to all musical tastes. The Cove offers a range of music from reggae and calypso to mellow music and rhythm and blues. Old Jamm Inn has a diverse selection of live and DJ music ranging from hot jazz to sizzling soca, one of the hottest spots in The Gap! While waiting for the music to heat up, you can sample the local fare of food vendors that assemble St. Lawrence Gap.

There are a variety of free water sports throughout the area as well!
Mount Gay Visitors' Centre
The Mount Gay Rum Distillery is a great choice to discover how rum is produced while staying out of the sun for a few hours. Visitors on the tour are greeted with a Rum Punch on arrival and then sent off on a guided tour of the history of the facility. After learning about the entire rum production process, you are able to sample several different types of premium rum that is made right there in the building. At the end of the tour, you are able to purchase their products at a better price than any of the shops on the island. They say don't go on an empty stomach!
Oistins Fish Fry
Oistins is an active fishing town on the south coast and the "must do" is to visit the fish fry at Oistins Bay Gardens, particularly on a Friday night. Great food, music and atmosphere! The food is the main draw- excellent fish, (tuna, swordfish, marlin, mahi mahi, flying fish), lobster, chicken etc. served in an extremely informal setting. You can get your fish grilled or fried depending on which vendor you choose from and it's all cooked on the spot right in front of you! Seating is plentiful, if rustic, and in amongst the diners, the old timers are usually playing dominoes. There are art and craft items on sale, including jewelry, pottery, ceramics, leather craft, wood carvings, straw craft, clothing and accessories and original paintings and prints. Best places for fish include Uncle George's Fish Net Grill and Pat's Place. About two miles away is the best fried chicken in all of Barbados, Chicken Rita. Depending the time of day, can be a long wait but we hear it's worth it!
