Rare BermudaBound2014 Posted September 14, 2017 #52 Share Posted September 14, 2017 YEAH? Maybe you can suggest something beach wise for my wife and I to do that day since we never been. Or should we do a island tour? Feel free to message me wince it is kinda off topic here. I was at a loss for ideas because i dont know the island, beach day or tour day??? I vote for beach day. See if you can get a day pass to Sandals- I spent 14 glorious days there a few years back and never really left the resort because the beach was exquisite.

I'm pretty good in the $0 - $75 per person range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisingcanadian Posted September 14, 2017 #56 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Antigua has 365 beaches-for each day in a year one. I had been there several times,and any beach I visited had been gorgeous. I do remember just one name: Valley Church Beach,and another one (I think) was Half Moon Bay. But you cannot go wrong with ANY beach on the Antigua. Well,maybe now,after the hurricane,you have to find out if some beaches were destroyed.

AZbeachboy Posted September 14, 2017 #57 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I look forward to Antigua. I have been there previously and took some personal time with people I was acquainted with and went to Nelson's Shipyard, a great experience.

Although some areas were impacted by Irma, ironically some friends have just had their Antigua holiday rearranged to Grenada due to damage at their hotel.

Homosassa Posted September 14, 2017 #61 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I know I read a review (don't remember by who or what cruise line) that talked about how easy it was to get to beaches using the public bus system in Antigua. Maybe the ports of call section of this board would have the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Morgsmom Posted September 14, 2017 #63 Share Posted September 14, 2017 (edited) It's SUPER easy to use the busses in Antigua. I did it years ago with my young daughter. The bus station is right outside of the port. From a quick web search looks like it is still $1 USD to take a bus. Edited September 14, 2017 by Morgsmom .
