This lovely beach is located right below Shirley Heights, but it can be accessed only by car from English Harbor or by a water taxi (Apple's Water Taxi behind the Copper & Lumber Yard Hotel at the dock). Still, it's very close to Antigua's hub of activity and history and near the popular yacht basin at Nelson's Dockyard. Like most beaches on Antigua, it's known for its perfectly clear water and white, white sand. The waters are calm and the beach is almost always empty.
