I have knee issues and find it difficult in the drop offs…lol Thank you As the drop off is a recurring problem for Antigua’s beaches, because the action of tides is impossible to predict. Here today, gone tomorrow. Therefore, do consider a Rock Pool day at Sheer Rocks. This will give one peace of mind, also the opportunity to spend a wonderful day, with excellent food/drinks and service. Views from day beds are truly wonderful. links.. https://sheer-rocks.com https://sheer-rocks.com/blog/pool-experiences/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and understand the beach erosion. it’s an ever changing landscape lol. We are only there from 10-5 I think so probably won’t waste that much money to only stay a few hrs. I’m thinking of the exchange rate too 😂. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There usually is the only gentle slope entrance to the sea, to the far left of the beach, by rocks, when facing the sea. It’s a narrow strip, but visible from the beach. Shared shuttles from the port are available. Edited March 4 by PORT ROYAL Visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have decided on Valley Church Beach for our June arrival but I have not figured out how to pre-book a ride. Any help would be appreciated.

I found this lady a number of years ago and we’ve booked with her each time we are there. Valey Church was nice but a steep drop off which was horrible for getting in and out of! I found her on Trip Advisor. Her name is Emelda Roberts. If you have Facebook you can message her on there. That’s how I keep in contact with her. Make sure to mention me (Cathy Connolly). It’s always nice when they have recommendations!! Happy cruising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
