Dickinson Beach, Caribbean beach in northwestern Antigua.
Dickinson Beach stretches roughly half a mile along the northwestern coast with white sand and turquoise waters. The beach offers rental equipment including snorkeling gear, paddleboards, and chairs with shade.
The area became a tourist destination starting in the 1960s when the first beachfront hotels and basic facilities were built. This development shaped how the coastal region evolved economically.
Street vendors set up along the shoreline selling handcrafted items and traditional drinks made locally. The beach has become a social hub where people gather to sample regional food and products.
The beach is easy to walk along and has shaded areas for hot days. Arriving early helps you avoid crowds and enjoy better conditions for swimming and snorkeling.
A coral reef about half a mile offshore creates natural pools and is home to many tropical fish species. This underwater world makes the spot popular with snorkelers of all skill levels.
