Valley Church Beach

One of the most immediately alluring of Antigua’s west coast beaches, Valley Church Beach stretches out along the pale blue waters of Lignum Vitae Bay. Its powdery white sands slope gently into the warm waters, while being backed by tropical foliage ringing with the sound of bird song.

Somewhere to relax and soak up the sun rather than snorkel or undertake water sports, Valley Church Beach is served by a single permanent bar called The Nest, which has a good stock of drinks and menu of local foods. Vendors also stroll along the waterline with snacks and souvenirs, targeting the cruise ship passengers which arrive between 11am and 3pm most days.

Facilities include public restrooms, showers and changing rooms.
