Home to more than 365 beaches, Antigua is a beach hub like no other. But its finest beach is undoubtedly the idyllic Dickenson Bay. Here’s everything you need to know about this coastal hotspot.
Timing the Trip
While there is no such thing as a bad time to enjoy a beach holiday in Dickenson Bay, those who wish to make the most of their visit should ideally time their trip to coincide with the perfect weather conditions. The months between December and April are considered the best time to holiday in this corner of Antigua and this period coincides with the peak tourist season in the country. Not only will most water sports activities be available to tourists but a host of other seasonal events will also take centre stage during this time of year.
Reaching Paradise
In terms of ease of access, Dickenson Bay is one of the more conveniently located beach hotspots in Antigua. Upon landing in the country via the Caribbean inter-island flights from a carrier such as interCaribbean Airways, one must make one’s way on to Anchorage Road and travel until they reach the famous beach.
Modes of Reaching the Beach
Hopping on a taxi is the easiest way to reach the beach, which most locals will be happy to direct one to if one should ask for directions.
Atmosphere and Facilities
Surrounded by restaurants and cafes, all one needs is a beach towel and a bathing suit to enjoy a memorable day out on Dickenson Bay. Those who wish to sign up for island hopping tours can also explore the nearby islands during their time here while restrooms and other amenities are also located close to the beach.
