Tucked away on the eastern flank of Green Island, this intimate cove is a testament to Antigua’s raw, unvarnished beauty. The journey here, typically by private charter, sets the tone for an exclusive encounter with nature. As your boat approaches, the water shifts from deep sapphire to a luminous aquamarine, revealing a seabed of white sand and scattered coral.
“This cove offers a rugged, untouched Atlantic face of Green Island, distinct from its calmer, more sheltered beaches.”

Stepping ashore, you’ll find a crescent of coarse sand, dotted with sun-bleached driftwood and smoothed pebbles. The cove is embraced by low-lying scrub and wind-sculpted rock formations, creating a natural amphitheater against the rhythmic crash of Atlantic waves. It’s a place where the only sounds are the gulls overhead and the gentle lapping of the tide.
While not ideal for extensive sunbathing, the cove offers a compelling backdrop for photography and quiet contemplation. The exposed nature of this eastern shore means a constant, refreshing breeze, making it an invigorating spot to simply sit and absorb the panoramic ocean views stretching to the horizon. It’s a truly off-the-beaten-path experience.
