Antigua and Barbuda PLACES OF INTEREST
Half Moon Bay This bay offer visitors a break from the other sometimes overcrowded beaches of Antigua as it is isolated more than most. The middle of the bay is ideal for surfers and yet is calmer at the edges, making it suitable for swimming. This can be an ideal place for families to visit. Depending on the time of day and season, there are usually vendors selling food and drinks, but it is advisable to take your own.
Stingray City Stingray City is the name that has been given to a shallow pool amid a tropical reef located a 5 minute speed boat ride from Antigua’s east coast. The pool has a sandy bottom and southern stingrays accumulate there to be fed by visitors. These friendly stingrays allow you to swim or snorkel with them and when you stand among them, you will experience their smooth, silky bodies brushing against you, which makes for a unique and unforgettable adventure.
