Aesthetic beaches



Choosing which beaches to venture to in Antigua might be a challenge, so we’ve selected some with the best aesthetic reputations for you to choose from. We’ll start with Half Moon Bay. This beach is just under a 30-minute drive from the capital city of St. John, assuming traffic is good. Once you’re there, you can take in the beauty of the beach, which curves in a half-moon shape, and spend the day on its shores. It typically does not experience crowding, so if you’re looking to unwind away from the masses, this is the perfect beach for you.

If you want the often-advertised white sand beaches and the convenience of restaurants and shops, then head over to the bustling Dickenson Bay. You’ll find the beach as well as a variety of water sports you can partake in. If you’re looking to fill your beach days with adventure, this is a great stop.

Next, there’s Deep Bay Beach, a relatively quiet beach with opportunities for snorkeling and exploring a sunken ship. If you want to spend your time observing life on land rather than in the sea, this beach has a short hike with gorgeous views around it.

Resorts for everyone

Coco Bay Resort is an all-inclusive, adults-only resort and offers everything from romantic dining to spa and wellness facilities. You’ll stay in a private cottage and have beach and pool access. You can save when you book through their website.

Jumby Bay Island offers luxury for the entire family. You can enroll the kids in the Kids Club, which consists of educational adventures with the wildlife on the island. You can also hire a babysitter at the resort so you can enjoy time at the spa on the beach, or anywhere else on the resort or island.

Next time you’re looking for a tropical vacation destination, head to Antigua for sunny days on glorious beaches. You’ll find beauty and relaxation almost everywhere you go.
