Anchorages and Beaches

Antigua & Barbuda are credited with 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. We have not quite reached them all yet but we've made a head start. Many of these beaches and coves make ideal and often quiet anchorages. Studying a detailed chart is advised before entering some of these anchorages. Names on sea charts are sometimes different from Google maps.

 

Barbuda anchorages and beaches can be found HERE.

Feel free to let us know of a beach location you have found on your travels if you don't see it here.
