Little Pearns Bay Beach

Located in one of the most natural places on Antigua, Little Pearns Bay is a destination of choice for eco-tourist and nature lovers visiting the island. Shrouded by a forest, and only one road on the peninsula it is located on, the remote beach is great for those looking to get as far from civilization as they can.

Located on the island of Antigua, You should consider stopping by whether or not you're staying in the immediate vicinity. Even if you love being in the middle of all the action, there are some perks to visiting a beach that isn't lined with high-rise hotels; beaches less-traveled like Little Pearns Bay Beach are perfect for getting away from it all.

How to Access The Beach

As stated, there is only one road on the peninsula, and at times it may seem more like a glorified hiking trail than a roadway. Nonetheless, you will be able to drive, bike, or hike to the beach. If you follow the sole road on the northern part, the second "intersection" will take you on a path to the beach.

Amenities and Ambiance

There is nothing but sand, water, and trees here. If you are up for a little exploring and a hike, you can head northeast a little bit and see some of the cliffs that make up part of the Antigua coast.

Unfortunately, restrooms will not be available here, so those of you traveling with small children may want to consider another spot.
