Darkwood is an exceptional stretch of beach, ideal for swimming.  The Observer newspaper (UK) named it as one of the best beaches in the world.

On the southern end, you’ll find Darkwood Beach Bar, an institution in its own right. Antiguan owners Clyde & Coralita George, have served visitors to Darkwood for many years. Several hurricanes have destroyed both beach & bar in the past, yet this has not detracted from the astonishing beauty of the setting. Chill-out with an ice cold drink. Follow this with a lunch of fish & salad or burgers & fries. The day will drift by without you noticing.
