Beach Bar Pic of the Week – Darkwood Beach Bar, Antigua
Tagged: antigua, beach bar, caribbean, darkwood beach bar
I’ve spent two weeklong vacations in Antigua, exploring its beach bars spread out over 365 different beaches. For some reason, I never made it to Darkwood Beach and its eponymously named Darkwood Beach Bar. Having stayed just north of it on Jolly Beach and just south of it on Turner’s Beach, I can’t even offer up a good excuse for not taking a minute or two to stop by. Luckily for the rest of us, beach bar bum Polly Terry made it a...
Beach Thursday Pic of the Week – Getting Down and Dirty With the Green in Antigua
Tagged: antigua, beach thursday
Who said branches can’t be picturesque? This image, taken from a beach in Antigua, portrays a branch/twig propped up among some of the most glorious sand you’ll find anywhere.

Presumably the spot that this...

Plus, as I’ve found out through our businesses for sale page, wanting to own a beach bar and actually making the leap are two entirely different things. Luckily for you, the owner of Jacqui O’s Beach House in Antigua has come up with a solution. According to a video he...

I love a good play on words (“jolly beach bars” – you’ll get it soon) and seeing as how it’s the season for being jolly , I couldn’t resist the cleverness. Of all the beaches I’ve had the pleasure of setting foot on, Jolly Beach, located in the southwest corner of Antigua, sits squarely at the top with a select other few. A slightly crescent shaped beach stretching out just under a mile, Jolly...
