This golden beach overlooking Falmouth Harbour is ideal for appreciating Antigua’s constant sunshine, swimming in crystal clear water and watching pretty sunsets.

Pigeon’s Point Beach is a popular family-friendly attraction in English Harbour. It is one of the many wonderful beaches that decorate Antigua’s magical coastline. Come to Pigeon’s Point Beach to bask in its stunning natural setting, enhance your tan, read a book beneath a coconut palm and dine at waterfront bars.

The beach is a short, tree-shaded stretch of fine golden sand set on the shores of Falmouth Harbour. Its public-use amenities include a baby changing room, outdoor showers and restrooms with wheelchair access. Pay a nominal fee to use the facilities. This money gets reinvested into maintaining its cleanliness. The setting also has a children’s playground complete with a climbing frame, slides and swings.

Stride out into the shallow, inviting water until it is deep enough to submerge yourself completely. The sea is so clear here that you can watch fish swim over the waterbed with the naked eye. Bring a snorkel and mask for even better fish-spotting opportunities. These are often available at the hotels in English Harbour.

Go to the southern end of the beach and walk out along the pier. Sit at the dock’s edge and observe as elegant yachts and simple speedboats moor offshore. The beach has two restaurants, both serving plates of sumptuous fresh seafood, fine wines and superb cocktails. Arrive late in the afternoon, order your drink of choice and stay to watch the sunset with the accompaniment of live music.

Get active and explore the two scenic trails that start from the beach. One travels south to secluded Windward Bay Beach. The other leads across a forested hill to the ruins of Fort Berkeley. Bring your camera to snap memorable photographs from the bastion of this 18th-century fortress.

Pigeon’s Point Beach is a 5-minute drive or a 20-minute walk from Nelson’s Dockyard in the centre of English Harbour. Find free parking along the beach road.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (686 reviews)
This resort was beautiful and quiet. It was definitely a peaceful getaway. The staff was very nice and accommodating. The resort is tucked away on the island and a long distance from any attractions, restaurants, and popular beaches. It would be ideal if you have no plans to explore the island. My issue was with the food. There is only one restaurant on the property and the last seating for dinner is 9pm. If you don’t dine in the restaurant by that time, there is no more food available to you. One night, I was not hungry at my reservation time and asked if I could take food to my room for later but I was denied. I would stay here again, but knowing the food situation I know to buy food from the other side of town and bring it back to the hotel with me.

My husband and I chose the perfect private getaway to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary! Everything was top notch and very impressive. From the entire property scenery, the weather, the food, the drinks, the room, our ambassador Delarno, etc....all was amazing. The service at Irene's and the Lighthouse was always on point. We will never forget the 7 Course meal experience at the Lighthouse. LLasmin was the best!! Lol, she helped us understand what we were about to eat everyday. Everyone made everyday comfortable and enjoyable.

Literally paradise. Everything was amazing. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was so nice. The beach was beautiful and the pools were clean. There's literally nothing that I didn't like. If I had to find one bad thing to say, the makeup mirror in the bathroom must have been installed by a 6-ft man because I don't know what woman can use a makeup mirror that high. Besides for that tiny little detail there was absolutely nothing I would change about this vacation. It was quiet and nightlife (usually mellow live music on the deck) ended by 10:00 p.m. maximum, so if you're looking for a heavy duty party you'd have to go off the grounds.
