Lovely soft sand here but sandals has dominanted the area spoiling it. If you share a taxi mini bus from St John's port with other couples it's $5 each .each way so acceptable if there's 6 of you. Please be aware that there are jelly fish in the area as my wife was stung so was a crew member from P.O. There's a few places to eat and get a drink at the usual Antiguan beach prices.

This island was one we stopped off on a cruise for the day. Wonderful beach. Great facilities and water sports. Loved every minute. Sea beautiful. Antigua is amazing. Dickensian Bay beach worth a visit.

We met Roderick and Charles who helped eight of us with chairs and umbrellas. Juiceman provided us with all the drinks we wanted and Pamela gave a wonderful massage on the beach. We had an amazing day everyone was very pleasant and helpful would highly recommend them all.

Great option for a day trip. We went to Dickenson Bay from the Port. We took a taxi. Look for the yellow shirts they are the drivers. It cost$5 a person and About 15 minutes. Rough drive there lots of bumps in the road. On the way back the taxi driver was able to find roads that were not full of port holes. Cost $7. A person on the way back to Port. We went to Anna's on the beach. Great location. Easy walk from the drop off. Chairs were purchased from Louis at $30 and the included the umbrella and wifi. Chairs were not packed in and had comfortable blue cushions on them. We were in front of Anna's restaurant. We had a nice and very slow lunch. About$90 for four light meals (salads, tacos, fries and and four waters,) Bathrooms are ok. Look for a stall with natural light as when you shut the door there are no lights in the bathroom. Definitely would recommend this beach. Beautiful calm water. Sand is not deep.

Great beach. We really enjoyed our visit to Dickenson Bay From the port our cost about$5 per person to get there. From the Bay back to the port our was$7 a person. Hilary was our taxi driver. She was great. Beach is long and beautiful. We got two chairs with comfortable cushions, umbrella and wifi for_$30. Louis meet us in front of Anna's restaurant and helped us with our chairs. The walkway from the parking lot is in picture attached. I recommend this spot. Anna's on the beach. Comfortable space between loungers close to the beach. Restaurant is pricey and lunch cost about$90 for four of us. The bathrooms are fine and you need to pick a bathroom that has natural coming in from the roof. Otherwise when you shut the door there is no light. We will go back. Lovely day. The drive to the port was incredibly bumpy. The way back Hilary found roads that were paved. Lots of activities on the beach if you want to be busy.

We just wanted to taxi to a good beach and viewed a positive internet suggestion to visit Anna's at Dickenson Bay. We learned that Dickenson Bay has a vast array of Beach Bars with their own beach fronts, side by side, for quite a distance along this shoreline. The taxi van was just taking everyone to Dickenson Bay but we were happy when he dropped everyone off right at Anna's. We were greeted at the end of the entrance walk by a nice local lady who indicated we should follow her to a beach chair location. After a little distance away from the main Anna's area I inquired if she worked for Anna's and she said no. Apparently she misdirects people away to the beach bar she owns. Although deceptive, we took a chance & actually ended up staying at her area (just around the bend past a land pier). Food & drink were a little more reasonable (actually opted for a lunch lobster) and the beach was fine. We experienced the whole shoreline of the bay with some long walks that we enjoyed so it was all good. Checked out other pricing along the way to verify we were getting a good deal. Best bet would be to walk up & down the beach when u get there to decide your ideal spot. Sandals Resort is along this beach so you know it's a nice area.

The photos in the brochures and all the reports do not do the beach justice! It is clean. The waters are Caribbean clear and warm. I used the beach a lot as I was staying at sandals which is on this beach. It get very busy at times when the cruise ships came in. There were some beach hawkers as you would expect, but as a female I was left alone and they targeted the male members of the group more so I felt really safe and comfortable. And they were not pushy so they just passed a few minutes of the day with you before moving on.

Definitely come here. Don't pay the cruise price. Walk up the road to the guys at the booth. They'll take you there for 10 dollars return. Get off at Anna's bar. Pay 20 dollars for 2 beds and an umbrella, you also get WiFi here I cluded It's next to sandals so you know it's good. Best trip.of our cruise

Amazing beach. White sand. Turquoise sea. Beach bars and different 'sections' to it so worth exploring up and down the length of the bay. Nowhere was too busy when I was there. Some great places to eat and drink. I was a woman alone and I felt safe and secure. The Antiguan people are so friendly and welcoming and lovely, I felt really at home even though I was on my own.

We loved the clean water and beautiful beach at Dickenson Bay. As cruise ship travelers, we only had about 4 hours to enjoy the area, but it was one of our favorite stops on our trip! There are a couple of resorts along the beach with accompanying restaurants and bars that are available to the public plus plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas for rent ($20 cash only). There’s even a swim up bar that you can visit, but it’s quite a ways out there. My husband and I were able to make the swim but most will probably have to take the little boat that goes back and forth. Overall, this beach was amazing and far exceeded our expectations. The only reason for 4/5 stars is the need for ATMs as most of the rentals are cash only.
