Darkwood Beach

Beach · Antigua and Barbuda

@cntraveler

"A favorite among locals and repeat visitors, Darkwood Bay is about a 25-minute drive from St. John and a little less developed than other popular beaches. Still, the beachfront offers convenient umbrella and chair rentals, along with a few water sports equipment rentals. Get ready to spend a day (or two) gazing out at the glassy water (on a clear day, you can see neighboring Montserrat) or make a lingering lunch stop at Darkwood Beach Bar and Restaurant. Owned by Antiguan locals, the outpost has been serving their popular lobster salad and pina coladas to hungry beachgoers since 1981."
