Sandals Grande Antigua has a lot of votes for being the best Sandals Resorts’ beach, but that’s a really tough question! I love Jamaican beaches, all beaches, actually, but Dickenson Bay is usually regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Antigua, with white, powdery sand and crystal-clear turquoise water. And, it faces west, so it delivers spectacular, relaxing sunsets! The mostly-protected bay keeps the water calm, and suits it for swimming and water sports. You can walk the scenic beachfront, and it seems less-crowded than some other resort areas. Since it’s a public beach, locals and local vendors join you, making an authentic, tropical experience. Is it the best beach in the Sandals all-inclusive, adults-only dreamy vacation line up? I guess you’ll need to find out!

Where is Antigua?
Antigua is a gorgeous island in the Caribbean, part of the country Antigua and Barbuda. It’s south of Puerto Rico and just north of Guadeloupe. You can zoom out on the map above and take a look. The island is famous for its stunning beaches, clear blue waters, and history. It’s the bigger of the two main islands—Barbuda being the smaller one nearby. It has a warm, tropical vibe. You’ll love it.
