Half Moon Bay, Coastal bay in Saint Philip Parish, Antigua and Barbuda
The crescent-shaped bay features a white sand beach stretching along the southeastern coast, with green hills rising in the background and blue waters meeting the shore.
The bay has served as a vital maritime location for local fishermen throughout generations, supporting the development of coastal communities in Saint Philip Parish.
Local families gather at the bay during weekends to share traditional fish dishes and engage in community activities that maintain connections to their maritime heritage.
Visitors should bring their own supplies, including water, food, and sun protection, as the bay area has limited facilities and two beach bars.
The northern section offers calm waters for snorkeling, while the southern end produces waves that attract body surfers throughout the year.

Under the Caribbean sun, the beaches still seem to breathe to the rhythm of the sea. Some are renowned for their clear waters, others for their silence or the presence of turtles coming to nest at night. From Aruba to Cuba, from Saint Barthélemy to Puerto Rico, these protected shores blend golden sand, coral reefs, and palm forests. Here, the sea stretches endlessly, waves fade into calm lagoons, and fishing villages retain their tranquil appearance. These beaches are more than just beautiful—they tell a different story of travel, slower and closer to nature. Between bright skies, warm breezes, and an unobstructed horizon, the Caribbean reveals its truest character.
