Morris Bay is the Picturesque Bay in Old Road Village on the Southern Regions of Antigua opposite of the road from the Old Road Primary School and within close proximity with The Curtain Bluff Resort and Spa. This is one of Antigua's better Beaches but not in the top 10. A popular picnic spot (just at the side of the main road) with many coconut palm trees and a beautiful powdery sandy shoreline with breathtaking landscape and Seascape vistas. There are fishing boats anchored just offshore and Tourists from the neighbouring Curtain Bluff Hotel can be seen enjoying walks along the relatively long beach. Morris Bay and the Morris Bay Beach is definitely a worthwhile spot to visit during an excursion or as a destination on its own. If going there I would highly recommend Gina's Cook Shop

Beautiful secluded beach. It's a bit of a trek to get there by foot but nothing terrible. Off road vehicle definitely needed for the last half or so if you plan to drive. Views are stunning, absolutely gorgeous
