Not sure when you are going, but Rumbus and Beachlimerz will be closed in September. We are going on a cruise Sept 15 - 22 and neither are open during that time. There are several bars that close during that time of year :(

Looking for a great bar to hangout for the day near the cruise port?

**Update - Gail just refunded our money. She said that due to an emergency Beachlimerz will be closed September 10 - 20.

We are going to Beachlimerz when we go in a few months, but are doing the pay-as-you -o option. You pay $50 up front (for 2 people), and you can use it for whatever i.e. chairs/umbrella, food, drinks. Gail also said she would send someone to pick us up from the ship, so we don't have to find a taxi on our own.

Gail's contact info is info@beachlimerz.com.

Hi Melissa

The Darkwood Beach Bar and restaurant we rented a palapa(authetic) type cover from the lady who owned it at the time. If you get on the Antigua Nice website, look up Darkwood Beach, all those aluminum 4 and 2 person cabana's, everything is all new, that lady has done well for herself, the restaurant she's completely expanded it. None of that was there when I started going there 11 years ago. I cant wait to go back this Dec., you are going in Sept. great time of the year to be there.

My plans unless I can find someone on my sailing who wants to go in on a driver for the day and head over to Long Bay Beach, I'm getting out of the port area early, heading to Darkwood on the bus, and spend the day.

Have a great time. Take care Todd

Thanks, Todd! I will definitely check out that website. Have fun when you go in December!!

Beachlimerz is on Ft. James beach - right beside Ft. James. It's probably the closest beach to the cruise port.

Thank you!

Todd - do you remember the name of the little bar at the end of the beach at Darkwood? We are going in September and wondered about those same 3 beaches. Do you know where Beachlimerz is (which part of the island)?

Thanks much!

Melissa

Thanks, Keith for sharing your pictures! Which beach did you visit?

Has anyone been to Copacabana Beach Bar? We are trying to decide between that, Harbour Lights, Pirate's Cove or the Boatyard for the day while we are in port.

No rentals on last visit

But ask them, as things change.

Thanks for the info!

Has anyone been to the Beach Bum Bar in Half Moon Bay? Do they rent chairs/umbrellas? Is the beach nice?

Thank you for the info!

Thank you, everyone!

Between these three, which is better for sunning/getting in the water? Pinel Island, Friar's Bay or Simpson Bay?

Also, are there places to rent chairs/umbrellas at these beaches?

Thanks in advance!:D
