Beaches
There are 365 beaches on Antigua. All of Antigua's beaches are public. Some are totally secluded, some have resorts. Many of them are dazzling white sand and are protected by reefs so the water is warm and calm. On the Northwest coast the beaches are more developed with resorts providing water sport entertainment and restaurants. Beaches in the southwest and south are less developed while some on the east coast are completely protected by reefs. You can also find rough surf. There are coral reefs for snorkeling and beach bars for lunch. Exploring the many beaches available can be fun.

Carlisle Bay beach
Located by the village of Old Road on Antigua's south coast, Carlisle Beach's expansive beach offers clear waters, fine sand and excellent snorkeling where you can find a wide variety of tropical fish.

Crab Hill beach
Located at the village of Crab Hill on the south west coast, Crab Hill Beach is cooled by gentle trade-winds, and offers a great venue for tanning in the tropical sun. On exceptionally clear days, the Island of Montserrat can be seen on the horizon.

Darkwood beach
Located on the south west coast, about 5 minutes drive south of Jolly Harbour. Crystal blue waters, great snorkeling and gentle cooling breezes makes Darkwood Beach a popular choice.
