Half Moon Bay

Beaches, Antigua


Fodor's Review:

This ¾-mi (1-km) ivory crescent is a prime snorkeling and windsurfing area. On the Atlantic side of the island, the water can be quite rough at times, attracting a few intrepid hard-core surfers and wakeboarders. The northeastern end, where a protective reef offers spectacular snorkeling, is much calmer. A tiny bar has restrooms, snacks, and beach chairs. Vendors wander by intermittently; signs of life are few. Half Moon is a real trek (you might end up asking locals directions several times) but one of Antigua's showcase beaches. Follow signs for the villages of St. Philips or Freetown, and pray: all roads are unmarked, and the island's hinterland has no landmarks to guide you.
