Half Moon Bay Beach

Half Moon Bay is a must-see no matter how long you're in Antigua and Barbuda. It's been voted the world's best beach and is also a National Park. This trip to the top of your bucket list is a sensory overload. Half Moon Bay is a stunner, with pink and white sand beaches that stretch for a mile into the Atlantic Ocean, a barrier reef to soften the severity of the waves, and good snorkeling options.

If you're searching for some wave action, the center and southern portions of the beach can provide tiny swells ideal for body surfing and wakeboarding. At Moon Bay, there's truly something for everyone. The most enticing feature of Moon Bay is its lovely crescent shape, which not only contributes to the bay's name but is also one of the main reasons visitors visit and locals return several times throughout the year.

If bird watching is something you like, Moon Bay can provide you with good opportunity to see broad-winged hawks, brown pelicans, and osprey in their native habitat. Moon Bay is only a 45-minute drive from St John's and is suitable for families with a variety of interests.
