Airport to the South Coast: Oistins, St. Lawrence Gap & Hastings
The South Coast is the closest resort area to the airport, which makes it a favourite for short stays and late-night arrivals. It is lively, walkable and packed with beaches, restaurants and nightlife.
The Route
From Grantley Adams International Airport, the drive heads west along the main coast road (Highway 7) through Christ Church. Most of the journey stays close to the sea, so you will often catch your first glimpse of the Caribbean within minutes of leaving the airport.

- Maxwell and Dover: 15-20 minutes
- St. Lawrence Gap: 15-25 minutes
- Worthing and Rockley: 20-30 minutes

What Each Area Is Known For
Oistins
A traditional fishing town famous for its Friday Night Fish Fry, where locals and visitors gather for grilled fish, music and dancing.
