Caribbean Moment: The Beauty of Long Bay Beach in Antigua

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 16th, 2021

antigua barbuda caribbean tourism director — Long Bay in Antigua.

In a destination that’s blessed with 365 beaches, it’s hard to choose just one.

But we’re rather partial to the sugar-white sands of Long Bay Beach, set on the northeastern edge of the island of Antigua.

The beach, which is home to the popular Pineapple Beach Club resort, is a sanctuary; a serene, rarefied corner of the island, a place where the harmony of turquoise and sand seems to pull you right in.

Whether you’re staying at the resort or just spending a breezy afternoon, it’s a bucket-list Caribbean beach.

So take a moment and journey to Long Bay, and start planning your next trip.

This is what it’s like to be there.
