Landing Bay

Rocky formations, sea grape brush and green hills make for a great view from this beach, which still manages to have a beautiful stretch of smooth white sand. The water is calm and clear and this beach is usually quiet.

Located in Five Islands, fairly close to St. John's, Landing Bay is on the West coast of Antigua. You should consider stopping by even if you aren't staying very close. Visitors should keep in mind that, while Landing Bay is certainly not secluded, it's not the busiest of Antigua's beaches either. It's the perfect choice for vacationers who want to enjoy a beach with mild activity without having to fight other beachgoers for a spot in the sand.

Amenities and Ambiance

Between Galley Bay and Hawksbill Bay, Landing Bay is accessible by Gray's Farm Main Road. It has beautiful vegetative surroundings and the shape of the Bay helps calm the waters. There are resorts on either side of this beach.

Unfortunately, public restrooms aren't available, so if you're visiting with small children you might want to consider a different location.

Since Landing Bay happens to be found in a popular area that can get crowded, many try to show up early.
