Caribbean Cruise Day Antigua (3/10/2018)
We visited
Antigua for a day on a WindStar
cruise tendering into English Harbor
in Falmouth Harbor. Larger cruise
ships dock at Autigua’s capital of St.
John’s.
Caribbean Beach at Dickenson Bay - Antigua |
We enjoyed
a day at Dickenson Bay where the Sandals resort is located. The beach is
lovely soft white sand with beautiful turquoise water. It is really nice
because you can walk twenty yards into the ocean with almost no waves. Dickenson
Bay is rather close to St. John’s and about a 45-minute drive from English Harbor.
Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available for rent. There are several beach bars
serving drinks and food. Watersports are also available. Dickenson Bay can be
crowded during busy times.

Some background and
history:
Antigua and Barbuda became an independent country in 1981. Antigua had a head
start in its development because the British had its Caribbean navy based in Antigua
for centuries and the United States built a base and airport here during WWII. There
are plenty of soft powdery beaches on Antigua... they say there are 365 – one
for each day of the year. Although the official currency is the East Caribbean
Dollar, U.S. Dollars are also accepted.
