"A beach popular for surf-friendly waves and sea turtle hatchlings."

The Best Beaches in Antigua—And Where to Stay Nearby

"Galley Bay Beach ticks off the boxes for a great beach: soft, white sand, turquoise water, and towering palm trees. The beach is also a haven for sea life: tucked between two small coral reefs, snorkelers can spot stingrays, angelfish, and parrotfish, and if you visit during the summer, keep an eye out for nesting sea turtles. The beach is home to the intimate Gauguin Restaurant and Bar, which offers private cabana dining right on the beach. If you can, stay for a dazzling sunset and snap a photo for your future screensaver."

"Bask in the Land of Sea and Sun No trip to Antigua , the “Land of Sea and Sun,” would be complete without spending quality time on one (or two, or three) of its fabled 365 sugar-white, sparkling beaches and the Galley Bay Resort and Spa sits on one of the best of the bunch. Galley Bay Beach is graced with three-quarters of a mile of quintessential Antiguan beach. Perfectly sized sand won’t blow in the breeze, palm trees dot its length providing natural shade, beds and hammocks dare you escape their relaxing embrace, and the water… Well… The water looks like you see above. Immaculate. Turquoise. Radiant. In the distance, you can see Nevis and St. Kitts on the horizon almost close enough to touch adding to the impossible perfection."
