Even though all of the beaches in Antigua are open to the public, the location of this beach is so secluded you feel as though you're on a private beach. Beautiful champagne shores, great snorkeling and no charter necessary.

It was a swimming, hiking and lunch stop on our Adventure Antigua boat tour. No food or restrooms on the island except for trees and bushes. The lunch and restroom was on the Adventure Antigua Tours boat. It is a 20 acre island on the North side of Antigua only accessible by boat. Great beach and swimming Harbour on South side of this small island. Very nice white sand beach with close sandbars and surrounding coral reef. It was named Great Bird Island by early sailors who were amazed by the extensive bird population. Now it is the only place where the Antiguan Races snake can still be seen in the wild. However, during our guided eco hike to the top of the island for the amazing view, we only saw a picture of the snake. The hike is short, but good shoes make it easier to climb up and down. See pictures from our wonderful 75 minutes there.

Due to the pandemic, I couldn’t get back to where I work, but I needed to be in the same time zone as working from London where I got stuck at the beginning of it was making me ill. Antigua is on the same time as where I normally work, so I got here on the first flight of the season with all the precautions possible. Antigua is handling the pandemic well and people maintain social distancing. I went to the beach early in the morning just after sunrise. Parked up right near the spot on the beach I thought would be good for me and proceeded to enjoy the beach with locals coming for their morning exercise and swim - no more than 4 groups and 5 solo people were on this entire beach meaning we had a good 25 metres in between each person/group. Crystal clear waters, gentle waves, beautiful golden sand and amazing weather. I spent 2 hours here and drove home in time for work.

One of the first beaches where kite surfacing was introduced on the island.
Reviewed By rebprem - Boulder, United States
Visited in early December and lucked out by having the beach to ourselves for a few days. It was clean and the launch area allowed for easy launch and land. Kitesurf Antigua was a fun, friendly and reliable source. I took 4 lessons from Margot and given I had not been kiting in a year she provided the perfect reintroduction and really paid attention to my format, giving great feedback and instruction. I would highly recommend Kitesurf Antigua - great instructors great equipment.
