Fantastic beach and turquoise sea. Thoroughly recommend a visit here. Plenty of space & quite. A nice bar service fantastic local beer and, of course, rum in many flavours

Fell in love with this beach on my first visit in 2007. Six years later and it is still top ranking for me. Not much has changed except for the Nest bar which has opened at the north end of the beach. It wasn't crowded when we visited either time and is great for a quiet afternoon at the beach.

On April 27, 2013 we docked at St John, Antigua from 7:00am-5:00pm. We had a nice beach day at Valley Church Beach. We took a taxi with 4 other people.

Paradise on earth - but don't drink the rum punch if you hope to walk away from the Nest beach bar (it's great as is the food!)

Wow, our first trip to Antigua and we found paradise on this beach. The view is amazing. Swimming was a great experience. You are very buoyant in this extra salty water. It wasn't too crowded. We were there by 9:00 and had front row chairs and an umbrella for $15 for two of us. The jerk chicken with either salad... More

I LOVED this place. We went during our trip of the island. I asked to have TRADITIONAL Antiguan food. I was brought to The Nest for lunch.
