Deep Bay or other beach recommendations

[mccasey]

Hi! We will be in Antigua off the Adventure of the Seas and am wondering which beach to go to. Someone highly recommended Deep Bay to me. Anyone have any feedback about it?

 

We are basically looking for a great beautiful beach where we can rent beach chairs and lounge and swim. Preferrably the gorgeous white white soft sand. We don't really care much about snorkelling but it could be a bonus. A place to possibly buy lunch or frozen drinks would be nice but is not a must. It would be nice to go to somewhere close to the ship, or as close as possible. We are only 2 and don't want to spend $50 roundtrip just on cab fare.

 

What do you recommend?

Deep Bay has the Royal Antiguan hotel and it was just sold. The new owner doesn't allow people walking or driving through the hotel. you will be turned away at the gate. This should change soon as we are all pretty pissed off about it, but i wouldn't take the chance. Some good suggestions below on beaches.
