Darkwood Beach
An open white-sand beach beside the southwest coast road, with calm, clear water, views across to Montserrat and beautiful sunsets.
Darkwood Beach sits right beside the main southwest coast road, so you can park and walk straight onto the sand. The water shades from blue to turquoise, with small waves that suit family swimming. Bars and restaurants on the beach rent loungers, and on clear days you can see the volcanic island of Montserrat in the distance. Further along this stretch, heading south, are Valley Church Beach and Ffryes Beach, which you can visit one after another. Afternoon is the best time to watch the sunset.
