The Beach is My Living Room! Look at me sit! I Love the beach, it's my favorite place and I recently took a trip to the beach, here's a snap shot of my weekend exploits.
Island Life: Antigua's Best Beaches
Antigua is home to many amazing beaches... frankly we've been called the beach capital of the region. So imagine my surprise when a tally of the 50 best beaches in the region barely even mention's the nation's best. Being the astute beach advocate that I am, I took it upon myself to compile a list of beaches that i thought should have made the cut.
Sundays : Windward Bay
As usual, Sundays are filled with salt and adventure for me. This Sunday was no exception. True to the spirit of summer, my friend and I went to the beach to soak up the Sun and get a few shades darker.
Our feet took us to Windward Bay located in English Harbour in Antigua (the wonderful island i live on). The beach isn't really made for swimming, there are a few spots you can wade in, but its a nice place to go when you want to relax and clear your head.
We decided this time that we wouldn't be content staying on the beach, and took the initiative to climb the hill and get a higher view of the landscape. It took a while, as the hill is fenced separating beach from private property. We climb the rocky hillside, and tried but failed to climb over the wire fence. Then as if God himself put it there, we found a gap in the bottom of the fence on the hillside with ample space for us to pass through.
We climbed through and up the hill and like we guessed, the view was spectacular. The hillside was a garden of cacti and riddled with footpaths that led to intriguing dig ins and boroughs that we pledged to go back and explore. The view of the coast line from the hill was amazing and made for an excellent afternoon. The water was clear, the waves were friendly and the sun was happy in the sky which made the atmosphere even better for the Sunday of adventure.

Here's to more Sunday Adventures and Summer magic
Sundays...
Sunday is my favorite day of the weekend. I get to bum and sleep in a bit later, and on a good day like today, i get to call up my friends and go to the beach. Quite frankly, i think more locals need to get up, go outside, and enjoy what's free of charge right infront of them.
Today my friend Jhodonna and I decided to visit Galleon Beach. It's one of my favorite places as it has breathtaking scenery and awesome chill spots. Plus not alot of persons know where it is so it's perfectly quiet and excellent for relaxation.
At the beach, there is also a pretty neat restaurant called Roxy's. We ordered Coconut Crushes and barbecue chicken wings and fries. We had an Awesome time.
We had invited a few more persons (2) but they weren't able to make it. They sure missed out on a great day at the rock pools.
