Pinching Bay
✨ Hidden gem
Pinching Bay sits tucked inside Jolly Harbour, offering solid holding in around 3 metres with calm, flat water and minimal swell rolling through. The setting is quiet and sheltered, making it one of the more relaxed spots to drop the hook in this part of Antigua. You're well-placed to dinghy into Jolly Harbour's marina facilities and the nearby stretch of Jolly Beach without much fuss.
