This beach is quite cool and untouched, with minimal development and only a few other visitors. I would definitely recommend it if you're seeking peace and tranquility.

Runaway Beach in Antigua is a stunning expanse of golden, fine sand that stretches for miles. The tranquil atmosphere and breathtaking views of the sea and sky make it the perfect spot to escape and unwind.

This beach is easily one of my top favorites. It's located around a 20-minute drive from AUA and boasts crystal clear waters, soft sand, and a peaceful atmosphere. The rocky sections of the beach offer great snorkeling opportunities, with gentle waves to make it even more enjoyable. Unfortunately, the beach bar Mystic seems to rarely be open, so it's best to bring your own food and drinks for a picnic.
