Caribbean Cruise Day Antigua

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.

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.
