点评:We visited here in early March 2025, with adult family on a day trip from our cruise ship. The water temperature was cooler than I expected albeit absolutely beautiful! The ocean color was an exquisite tropical turquoise with glints of bright cobalt blue.
We entered through Ana’s on the Beach and rented lounge chairs with umbrellas. (Actually, my sister-in-law and her husband paid, I think $30 U.S. for two loungers and an umbrella?) Darn, I didn’t confirm the cost, sorry. Well worth it when the blazing sun was out, however we were fortunate enough to have scattered high clouds which helped beat the heat.
As others have written, Sandal’s Resort does dominate a large majority of the beach right here.
Our section of nearly white, soft sandy beach was more than adequate and not overly crowded at all. It was pleasantly relaxing.
Our lounge chairs were comfortable and we enjoyed cooling off in the water where we were happy to see that no rocks were submerged. Bare feet? No problem. Water shoes not necessary here!
There is a relatively large, protruding and elevated rock peninsula walkway that separates the water between Ana’s and Sandal’s. It may be important for some folks to note that while we were there, a man fishing on this “pier” unexpectedly caught an eel. So for that reason, I recommend not climbing on those rocks and to keep your eyes open while walking in the water, very close to them. Many, if not all eels, have super sharp teeth.
There were wave runners available to rent with provided life jackets, for $80 U.S. for 30 minutes. Apparently the need for a valid drivers license, insurance or any course for training on operating a personal watercraft is simply not required. Insert small tone of sarcasm. (Obviously this is Antigua and not the U.S.) Our 23 year old son handed over cash and was given a life vest and a wave runner. No questions asked. Fortunately he is a very skilled watercraft operator with a valid California boating license. I write this as informational only, for those who may be unfamiliar. Personal watercraft absolutely 𝐝𝐨 𝐧𝐨𝐭 have brakes and they 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫. They operate nothing like motor vehicles do. Be safe, informed, have fun and don’t get hurt.
We bought beers and small snacks (delicious battered onion rings and French fries) from the friendly bartender at Ana’s. Since we had rented lounge chairs and umbrellas we were allowed to use their restrooms as well. They were clean and functioned as expected.
Overall, we relaxed and enjoyed a very lovely day on this beautiful beach along Dickenson Bay. It was the perfect way to savor our last day in a port.
I hope this information is helpful to others visiting here! Enjoy~
翻译:2025 年 3 月初,我们和家人一起乘坐游轮一日游来到这里。水温比我想象的要低,但绝对很美!海洋的颜色是精致的热带绿松石色,闪烁着明亮的钴蓝色。
我们从 Ana’s on the Beach 进入,租了带遮阳伞的躺椅。(实际上,我嫂子和她丈夫花了 30 美元买了两张躺椅和一把遮阳伞?)该死,我没有确认费用,抱歉。烈日当空时,这很值得,但我们很幸运,有零星的高云帮助我们抵御炎热。
正如其他人所写,Sandal’s Resort 确实占据了这里的大部分海滩。
我们那部分几乎是白色的柔软沙滩绰绰有余,而且一点也不拥挤。令人愉快地放松。
我们的躺椅很舒服,我们喜欢在水中凉快一下,很高兴看到没有岩石被淹没。赤脚?没问题。这里不需要穿水鞋!
有一个相对较大、突出且高架的岩石半岛走道,将 Ana 和 Sandal 之间的水域分隔开来。有些人可能应该注意,我们在那里的时候,一个在这个“码头”上钓鱼的人意外地钓到了一条鳗鱼。因此,我建议不要爬上那些岩石,在水中行走时要睁大眼睛,离它们很近。许多(如果不是全部)鳗鱼都有非常锋利的牙齿。
有水上摩托艇可供出租,并提供救生衣,30 分钟 80 美元。显然,不需要有效的驾驶执照、保险或任何关于操作个人水上摩托艇的培训课程。插入一点讽刺的语气。(显然这是安提瓜,而不是美国。)我们 23 岁的儿子交了现金,得到了一件救生衣和水上摩托艇。没有问任何问题。幸运的是,他是一位非常熟练的水上摩托艇操作员,拥有有效的加州划船执照。我写这篇文章只是为了给那些可能不熟悉的人提供信息。私人水上摩托艇绝对不会有刹车,而且它们不会损坏。它们的操作方式与机动车完全不同。注意安全、了解情况、玩得开心,不要受伤。
我们从 Ana 的友好调酒师那里买了啤酒和小零食(美味的炸洋葱圈和炸薯条)。由于我们租了躺椅和遮阳伞,所以我们也可以使用他们的洗手间。它们很干净,功能也符合预期。
总的来说,我们在狄金森湾沿岸这片美丽的海滩上放松并度过了非常愉快的一天。这是享受我们在港口最后一天的完美方式。
我希望这些信息对其他来这里的人有所帮助!尽情享受吧~
