Deep Bay Beach

One of my favorite beaches in Antigua. Maybe even the best (I didn't go to all of them) You can catch lobsters, swim, snorkel or just chill. The restaurant (Just chillin) is very good on the north end of the beach. If you don't want to go through the resort, just put Fort Barrington in Google maps, it will take you to a parking lot, cross the metal bridge, take a left at the fork and follow the path. Right at the fork will take you to the Fort.

Wear good shoes and bring water if hiking up the trail to see the view, wear large hat to shield from sun, it is hella hot up there fully exposed, no shade. The views are absolutely breathtaking, the short 15 min hike to top is worth it!

Great beach to chill and swim, or watch the sunset. I would recommend driving to the Fort Barrington end with ample parking available and a minute or so walk along a trail (easy to find) to find the beach. This way you will avoid the built up hotel end, which unfortunately does spoil the view somewhat.

Absolutely loved it, they weren't many people there, would recommend to climb fort Barrington which is overlooking the beach. There's a shipwreck not far from the shore however the water was bit murky and couldn't see much of it. Was a bit confusing finding the way to this beach but after asking few locals found out that I need to drive towards fort Barrington and then walk across the wooden bridge.

Boyfriend had his wallet stolen out of my bag here. We were told after to never go to this beach because of theft. Too bad because it’s a pretty beach.

One of my favourite beaches, truly stunning scenery and beautiful water to swim in, definitely going back to Antigua.

Always on my list of goto beaches, it was my church favourite beach for picnic. Well protected and secured on both side of crescent. No part of the bay seems real deep as you viewed it from goat hill historic site. After royal Antigua hotel was built in the 1980’s easy access to the beach were denied mainly your parking abilities. Access to the beach is gettable by the unpaved dirt track on the southern side of the salt pond where parking is limited. A narrow aluminium makeshift walkover bridge built over the mouth of the mangrove, salt pond then hiked you to the beach and Fort Barrington. Local, commoners and mingling on the beach from end to end no restrictions whatsoever. It is the only beach today to have relics of a shipwreck displayed in the middle of the bay. It is said that “The Andes, a ship from Trinidad sank here nearly 100 years ago and its mast pokes out of the water till today”. From the summit of Fort Barrington one can see the wreckage at low tide. I have only slight memory of seen the mast of the ship.

Lovely beach , so much to do on jet ski and water sports, busy as if you don’t stay at the Royaton hotel you have to go down a bumpy road . Then walk over a bridge and then through a 4 minute trail to get to the beach . Nonetheless it was worth it and will defo go back!
