Bestest beach in antigua

[coton]

For all who have visited Antigua could anyone please provide some feedback? I will be on my honeymoon when we visit Antigua. I truly want to know what the best beach on the island is. I dont care much for activities/restaurants/ facilities etc. I just want to spend the day at a beautiful beach with my new wife. If that beach is the touristy place to be then so be it. I dont know if any locals read these postings or not but what is the best of the best for scenery and calm waters? Another note is we are not going for the scubadiving experience.

Thanks in advance

Half Moon Bay hands down because you can't get to Rendezvous Bay that easily. The others are awesome but no comparison to the above. These two beaches are internationally exceptional.

Can you tell me how far to the beach and how expensive it would be to get there? Also, how expensive is it to eat and drink in Antiqua?

Hi,

Have read some great reviews about Long Bay is Half Moon Bay nicer than Long? Are there bathrooms and places to rent a beach chair at Half Moon?

What is the cab ride cost from the ship dock to Half Moon? Are there plenty of taxis that stay at Half Moon to take us back to the ship?
