seashinesunshine Posted May 22, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Is there a nice beach close enough to the port to walk to? Thanks. No, we have gone to Fort James Beach, 6$ pp for a taxi ride maybe 8 to 10 min. Nice quiet beach with the ruins of Fort James at one end and a small bar etc at the other to rent chairs. Nice and sandy way out. Great beach to just hang out in the water, not great snorkeling due to very little coral or rocks. Not the best videos, but it will give you an idea. Next time, I will take video with the intent to show what things are, and hopefully get better. These were taken with my underwater camera.

OCruisers Posted May 22, 2014 #3 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Don't know of any that are close enough to walk. LuLu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
versuco Posted May 22, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Thanks for the responses and videos. St. James beach looks nice, that's a good option to keep in mind. We've been to Antigua several times and do not want to take another tour, but a short taxi ride to a nice beach would be OK.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seashinesunshine Posted May 29, 2014 #6 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Could you rent an umbrella for shade? Yes can't remember how much but we were able to put our chair under some trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mets07 Posted June 1, 2014 #7 Share Posted June 1, 2014 We went to Dickenson Bay Beach by taxi. You can rent chairs/umbrella and there are beach bars that have food, etc. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marmstro Posted June 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Beautiful beach! Question for you: when you hire a cab to Fort James beach how do you arrange your return ride back to the ship? This looks a bit isolated, and we've always done ship sponsored excursions so have never had to deal with cabs ourselves. Thanks.

Once we hopped on with a small group going back and another time we just got in a cab that was waiting near the bar area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruiser 4 Life 66 Posted June 17, 2014 #12 Share Posted June 17, 2014 No beaches you can walk to, but Dickenson Bay Beach is very nice and a short taxi ride away. Lots of little shops there, beach bars, and an over the water restaurant. Google it for images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to decide whether it would make sense to do the Celebrity excursion which includes lunch or if it would be better to go on our own. Thanks!
