WHAT'S NEARBY

Darkwood Beach

  • Address: 2 mi (3 km) south of Jolly Harbour and roughly 1/2 mi ( 3/4 km) southwest of Valley Church off the main coast Rd.

Fodor's Review:

This ¾-mi (1-km) beige ribbon on the southwest coast has stunning views of Montserrat. Although popular with locals on weekends, it's virtually deserted during the week. Waters are generally calm, but there's scant shade, no development other than a basic beach bar, and little to do other than bask in solitude. Its neighbor across the headland (a seven-minute walk along the road), Ffryes Bay, is another fine pristine stretch.
