About The south coast: the back story
Christ Church’s south coast is the island’s liveliest stretch: the Garrison and Hastings close to town, the Richard Haynes Boardwalk, Accra Beach at Rockley, the restaurants and nightlife of St. Lawrence Gap, the fishing town of Oistins with its Friday fish fry, and the kite-surfing beach at Silver Sands. It is close to the airport and full of hotels, from small boutique places to all-inclusives.
