Darkwood, Fryes, Valley Church, Dickenson Bay, Suggestions Please

[eltigre]

First visit to Antigua and I am looking for a beach for a group of 8 active seniors. Shade, sun, sand & snorkel would be a bonus. Chairs, umbrellas & drinks.

I have narrowed it down to the above. Can I get suggestions please?

I’ve been to Valley Church twice (most recently in March 2024) and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Nice beach, chairs and umbrellas available for rent, excellent beach bar with food (haven’t tried the food but it looks good).  Nice water.  Not sure how good the snorkeling is, but the water is clear.  I’d go back again.

Did you take a taxi?  Do you recall how much it was?  TIA
