Darkwood beach antigua8/27/2023 ![]() Our taxi driver was waiting for us at 2pm as arranged but I noticed that they are very flexible as one of our group asked if they could stay another hour which the driver agreed to.

There is free WiFi available on the beach and it was very fast. I am not a strong swimmer so like to stay in my depth but there were 2 quite steep drops so beware of this and also the waves can be quite rough and I got swamped by one which terrified me and I made a hasty retreat back to the safety of my sunbed. Now the sea here is lovely and looks very inviting but be warned it gave me a very frightening experience. We paid $20 for 2 sun beds and an umbrella - the umbrella was the wooden type so could not be adjusted any way but I managed to stay in the shade by moving the sunbed around it! We had a few very sharp showers but it did not spoil the day and we just went into the beach bar and had coffee for $3 each. This is a beautiful place with soft sand, a beach bar and toilets (which were just about ok). It was about 20 minutes drive through lovely countryside and then we were dropped off right at the entrance to the beach. We all then agreed a time of 2pm for our ride back to the ship. The fare was $8 pp one way so in total for the 2 of us it was $32 for the round trip. Straight off the ship there are loads of people offering trips and taxi services and we soon sorted out a taxi you then wait a few minutes until there are enough numbers - about 20 I think - to fill the taxi.
