Most Beautiful Beaches of Antigua: Valley-Jolly or Fort-Dickenson
Description
IMPORTANT FOR CRUISE SHIP PASSENGERS: FOR US IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOUR RETURN TO THE SHIP IN TIME, THAT IS WHY THE VAN AND THE DRIVER WILL ALWAYS REMAIN WITH YOU THROUGHOUT THE TOUR, UNLIKE THE TAXIS THAT YOU CAN FIND AT THE PORT THAT WILL CONTINUOUSLY GO BACK AND FORTH WITHOUT ALWAYS STAYING WITH YOU. THIS IS AN EXTRA TRANQUILITY TO LET YOU LIVE THE TOUR SERENELY. Do you love breathtaking beaches and pristine bays and would like to discover more and more? Then this is the tour for you! On this tour you can visit and make sure that they remain forever in your best memories of the holiday. If you have only half day to spend in Antigua, this tour is perfect to enjoy 2 of the best beaches in Antigua: Valley Church and Jolly Beach. We can stay 1 hour and 10 minutes in each beach. The watchword will be FREEDOM and RELAX: a swim in turquoise waters, a romantic walk or simply lots of photographs. PLEASE N.B.: BEACH CHAIRS AND UMBRELLAS ARE NOT INCLUDED.

We were escorted to two beautiful but vastly different beaches by our very congenial tour guide Martina. After providing us with an ample timeframe to explore and swim, Martina was discreetly visible to the group in case we needed her assistance and I truly appreciated her presence. The beaches were absolutely beautiful and clean. I highly recommend this tour.
A perfect trip out to 2 beautiful beaches, the best we’ve seen. Marco was friendly and gave us information about Antigua as we drove around. The snacks and water were great too. A lovely morning.
Sometimes the simplest mornings turn out to be the most memorable. Two beautiful beaches, crystal-clear water, and time to simply relax and enjoy Antigua at its own pace. Marco will be pleased to know his local insights added something extra to the journey between stops. And we're glad the refreshments helped make the experience even more comfortable. Thanks for spending part of your vacation with us—those quiet beach mornings are one of the island's best-kept secrets. 🌴☀️
Very characteristic experience, relaxing and zero thoughts. Our guide Greta thought of everything, providing water and snacks. She was also very knowledgeable and knowledgeable, was able to answer all our questions and gave us so much interesting information. Experience that I strongly rabbit.
Le giornate più belle spesso sono quelle in cui non devi pensare a nulla e ti godi semplicemente il momento 🌴😊 Relax, atmosfera autentica e quella sensazione di essere seguiti con attenzione fanno davvero la differenza. Greta sarà felicissima di sapere che la sua disponibilità, le tante curiosità condivise e le piccole attenzioni come acqua e snack abbiano reso tutto ancora più piacevole. Sono proprio questi dettagli a trasformare un’escursione in un’esperienza da vivere senza pensieri 🇦🇬
Among the proposed package of experiences we chose “Total relaxation, discovering the beaches”... what about, thanks to Greta’s company that led us during the tour we spent a very pleasant half day! Cute idea to send a postcard to friends and family offered directly by them! Thank you again ❤️
A volte bastano poche ore fatte nel modo giusto per regalare quella sensazione di staccare davvero da tutto 🌴😊 Relax, belle spiagge e piccoli dettagli speciali rendono l’esperienza ancora più piacevole. Ci ha fatto sorridere leggere della cartolina: sono proprio queste attenzioni autentiche che vogliamo trasformare in un ricordo da portare a casa. E Greta sarà felicissima di sapere di aver contribuito a rendere la vostra mezza giornata così speciale ❤️
Marco provided a great tour of the island complete with history, snacks and drinks, and a few hours at two of the most beautiful beaches on the island!! 😎
History, island views, snacks in hand and a couple of hours at beautiful Caribbean beaches… that sounds like Antigua done properly 😎🌴 The best days often come from a mix of discovering the island and having time to simply slow down and enjoy it. Marco will be thrilled to read this — creating relaxed experiences with local stories, personal attention and a fun atmosphere is exactly what he loves doing 😊
Beautiful beaches, Androw was an excellent Travel Guide, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He took us to Big Fry Beach. It was stunning, and after that Valley Church Beach which was quite busy on a Saturday. Would absolutely recommend this excursion!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We’re really happy you enjoyed discovering the most beautiful beaches of Antigua and that you had such a great day with us 🌴🌊 Andrew will be delighted to hear your kind words — he always aims to be knowledgeable, patient, and friendly to make every tour special 🙌 Big Fry Beach and Valley Church Beach are truly stunning spots, each with their own unique vibe, and we’re glad you got to experience both ✨ Our small group tours are designed to offer an exclusive and relaxed way to explore the island’s hidden gems away from the crowds 🏝️ If you’re thinking about booking again, we’d love to welcome you back for another unforgettable day in Antigua! 😊
Keanu was the BEST tour guide. He was punctual, knowledgeable and responsive. We were the only ones on the tour, and he allowed us to set the pace. We saw everything we wanted to see and more!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had such a great experience exploring Antigua’s beautiful beaches. Keanu will be very happy to hear your kind words—he truly enjoys creating personalized, small group tours and making sure guests can explore at their own pace. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities, so it’s great to know you felt well taken care of. We hope to welcome you again in Antigua!
Our tour guide Keanu was great. Exceeded our expectations.
Vielen Dank für Ihre tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr zu hören, dass alles reibungslos verlaufen ist und Sie die schönsten Strände Antiguas genießen konnten. Ein besonderes Dankeschön auch für Ihr Lob an Keanu – wir sind ganz Ihrer Meinung, er ist wirklich spitze und wird sich sehr über Ihre Worte freuen! Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder in Antigua begrüßen zu dürfen!
My partner and I were met as expected by a lovely lady holding our name on a sign. Escorted us to her vehicle and took us to the two beaches and stayed with us the whole time. The first one was Valley Church which was a gorgeous non touristy beach where we were able to go for a swim using the floaties given to us. The second was Jolly Beach just a couple of minutes away full of holiday makers, sun loungers, bars etc. we were then taken back to our ship. Whole experience was about 3hrs and I would highly recommend it.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you felt well looked after from the moment you were greeted and throughout the entire experience. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the contrast between peaceful Valley Church Beach and the lively atmosphere of Jolly Beach — both are special in their own way! We’re happy everything ran smoothly and that the timing worked well with your ship schedule. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back to Antigua again soon! 🌴☀️😊
Our guide Keanu was on time, good fun and informative. He warned us that Jolly Beach is a huge beach full of umbrellas and sunbeds and the fee for 2 beds and an umbrella is US$30, which is expensive for a short stay. So upon arriving, we looked around, thought this is not for us and he suggested a smaller and quieter beach nearby where we spent a lovely couple of hours.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you appreciated the guide’s punctuality, friendliness, and the information provided. As you mentioned in your own review, Keanu clearly explained the situation at Jolly Beach in advance and, once there, suggested a quieter alternative that you chose and enjoyed. For this reason, we believe the service provided was attentive and professional and does not reflect a 3-star rating. While we respect your opinion, we do not agree with the score given. That said, we’re pleased you were still able to spend a lovely few hours thanks to Keanu’s support.
