Long Bay Beach, Caribbean beach on northeastern coast of Antigua
Long Bay Beach is a white sand shore extending over one mile on the northeastern coast of Antigua. Palm trees line the edge, and coral reefs sit in the turquoise waters offshore.
The area was a small colonial settlement before becoming a tourism destination during the 1960s. This change was part of Antigua's broader development of its hospitality industry.
Local vendors operate along the shore, selling food, crafts, and providing music that reflects Caribbean life. This daily activity shapes how the community uses the beach.
The beach offers equipment rentals and professional instructors for snorkeling tours to the coral formations. Check what activities are available when you arrive.
Its eastern position makes it one of few places on the island where the sun rises directly over the ocean. Early morning visitors get a memorable view that is rare elsewhere on Antigua.
