Price calculated. Change the date or destination if you like.
Getting from Antigua Airport (ANU) to Dickenson Bay takes about 15 min by car on an empty road (15–25 min in heavy traffic) over 13 km. Our private transfer costs €50 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €70 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.
On arrival: The driver waits for you as you come out of the Arrivals Hall after Immigration, baggage reclaim and Customs, holding a sign with your name. Pre-booked ground transport and tour operators wait just outside the terminal building under the canopy. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.
Dickenson Bay is on the north-west coast of Antigua, about 13 km from the airport. The drive goes west along the main roads north of St John's, skirting the edge of the capital, and then takes Anchorage Road towards the coast and the beach hotels. There are no tolls and no hill crossings on this route. The roads around the northern edge of St John's can be slow at weekday rush hours.
Dickenson Bay is a long, straight beach of white sand facing west, with calm, clear water that suits swimming and water sports for most of the year. Several of the island's larger beach hotels and a row of beach bars and restaurants line the sand. Runaway Bay continues directly to the south, and Fort James and the capital are a few minutes away. The bay is one of the best places on Antigua to watch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea.
Public transport: The official airport and tourism authority sites do not list a scheduled bus from the airport to this destination. Antigua's public buses are small minibuses on set routes that run roughly from 05:30 to 18:00 and start from the West and East Bus Stations in St John's, with timetables that the official tourism site describes as unpredictable. Routes from St John's towards the north-west coast start at the West Bus Station.
