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.
