It was very windy when we went to the beach. But the left side was good for swimming. Soft, white sand and beautiful cool water. It was fun to watch the waves break on the cliffs.It is worth the drive but there are no roadsigns and maps are of little use. We were quite surprised to find it at first try.
Off the beaten track, and with a wonderful beach bar. Loved the unspoilt atmsophere and lack of touristy infrastructure.There are no loos/changing facilities.
I'm sure this area could be much more beautiful than it is. The water in the bay is so pretty and warm, but the sea grass.....ugh the sea grass. It was literally almost 18 inches thick in some areas of the beach. We had hoped to snorkel here because it's supposed to be a great place for that. Once we saw the wall of sea grass on the beach we didnt even consider spending any length of time here. If someday they get back to tending to the beach here, removing all that grass, I know we would return to spend time and snorkel.
Went twice, once in the rain (had it all to ourselves) once on a nice day (maybe 20 other people).Great beach, beautiful water, scenery, and good snorkeling.
This is a must on your to do list in Antigua. It is not easy to find but well worth the effort. It is so beautiful. The waves are fun to play in ;) There is a little restaurant there and they have restrooms. While we were there, there was a magazine photoshoot going on....fun.
great reef and good selection of fish to see, we were part of a cateraman trip so had to move off with the main group before we were ready to go
Out of the way, but worth the drive. There are remains of old resorts that large storms destroyed. The natural beauty remains.
Waves can be high at times, see some fabulous kite surfing here and if you find it a bit rough, walk to the far left side around the crescent shaped beach. The sea wall offers some protection in this area, the calm water is clear and good for snorkelling. There is a small snack bar and washroom facilities close by.
A truly beautiful beach, the views from above on the approach road are also stunning. Quite hard to find, you need a map. Lovely crescent bay, never crowded. Lots of places to find shade in the mangroves edging the sand. The snorkelling can be good but it’s a bit hit and miss, you need to go up the far end really and the water can often be choppy. The bit in front of the parking area has always been wavey on the 5 times I’ve been.It’s also worth walking round the point for some spectacular experience of the rough Atlantic crashing against the rocks.
Half moon bay is world class in most respects.Tibby is running a great family food shack by the beech and serves great fresh food at very reasonable cost each day. Drinks are good and the run is always free flowing. Years ago I was lucky enough to get to know smiling Harry. One day he out a large bottle of rum on my table and a small bottle of coke and said " help yourself to the rum but please go easy on the coke as I'm running low"... What a classic and what a great man. Tibby is clearly a similar soak , her food is cooked with love and that ethis is clear in everything she and her staff do. Because of this little business half moon is a greater place to visit. We highly recommend both half moon bay and Tibby's place.
