Ballast Bay beach

Ballast Bay is a beach being closest to the west of St. John port, Antigua island. It is not the most beautiful beach on the island, but it's quite Ok anyway. There are not many trees. But you can always find a free shaded spot, since there are usually just a few people. Blue Skies Entertainment Park (marked on the map) does not operating most of time. So you should not expect any special "entertainments". Shore and seabed: sand. [edit]
