Antigua Has More Beaches Than You Can Imagine

One of the things about Antigua and Barbuda you should definitely know is the beaches in Antigua. Antigua is known as "the country of 365 beaches" because there is a beach every day of the year! It's not without reason; the island has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. There is a beach for everyone, whether you want watersports, bustling beach bars, or isolated coves. There are several beaches to visit, ranging from the tiny crescent beaches of Hawskill Bay to the limitless length of white sands at Darkwood.

Dickenson Bay, located in the northwest of the island, with powdery white beaches and quiet waters (as still as a bath) that are ideal for families. Head to Valley Church Beast on the west coast for the best coconut shrimp on the island, as well as tons of lovely seashells.

There is also a large density of surfing sites, however, windswell seldom reaches three feet. Hurricane season may also offer some fantastic surf days, however, you'd need to be quite skilled to enjoy them. Sand Haven, just south of Dickenson Bay, is one of the nicest. Because of its long and rippable waves, Fort Barrington is another favorite choice. Kite Surfing and Stand Up Paddle Surfing are also popular.
