Shoal Bay, Protected bay in Saint George Parish, Antigua and Barbuda
Shoal Bay is a bay on the northern coast of Antigua with white sand beaches and clear Caribbean waters. The shore curves gently and stretches for several kilometers, forming a natural protected setting.
The bay developed from a natural anchorage for ships into a settled area during colonial times. Over centuries it became an important port location and later a popular beach destination.
Local fishing communities maintain traditional methods of net casting and fish preparation, passing these skills through generations at Shoal Bay.
The bay can be reached via Old Parham Road with several accommodation options nearby. Visitors will find beach access at multiple points along the shore and basic facilities throughout the area.
The bay sits just minutes from V.C. Bird International Airport, allowing travelers to move from air arrival to the beach in roughly thirty minutes. This makes it a natural first stop for many visitors.
