St Lawrence Gap

St Lawrence Gap, universally known as 'The Gap', is the south coast's nightlife and dining epicentre, a curving beachfront strip lined with restaurants, beach bars, live-music venues and small hotels along Dover and St Lawrence beaches. It is one of the most recognisable tourist addresses in Barbados and a magnet for short-stay visitors year-round. For investors, The Gap is a short-term rental powerhouse. Beachfront and near-beach condos price around US$350-600 per sq ft, with sea-view units at the top end; entry condos start near US$200,000. The relentless tourist footfall drives 6-7% gross yields and peak occupancy near 85%, with strong nightly rates during the winter season. Tracking the national ~6.8% growth, The Gap offers high liquidity and reliable cash flow, and non-residents pay no capital gains tax on resale.
