Sun and sea without a marathon inland drive
Classic Beach Day is a relaxed Antigua shore excursion centred on Fryes Beach. It suits cruise passengers who want swimming time, a calm lunch, and a simpler day than stacking heritage stops or English Harbour with a second major theme.
Included as part of the excursion: lunch, a non-alcoholic welcome drink, and transport. Optional Cades Reef boat/snorkel and optional water sports are at your own expense and are not included. The day is not wheelchair accessible and involves moderate activity.
