A southern point.
An island to approach slowly.
Coco Point lies at the southern end of Barbuda, with pale sand and turquoise water beside a private residential resort development.
Make the beach your focus, with transport and an agreed arrival point arranged before leaving Codrington. Official tourism material also uses Princess Diana Beach for the shore formerly called Coco Point Beach. Confirm the exact stretch with your host; a beach name does not establish a usable entrance or permission to use private facilities.

Southern Barbuda, north of Antigua.
Coco Point Beach, Barbuda, Antigua & Barbuda
01 / ARRIVAL
Start with the crossing from Antigua.
Low Bay, Barbuda
Low Bay’s shoreline with damaged buildings in a 2023 photograph; it is not Coco Point or evidence of current conditions.
Photo: CROIX (resized) ↗ · CC BY-SA 4.0Get around from Codrington
Arrange a licensed local driver, host transfer or suitable rental before departure. Codrington is the practical village base for supplies and local advice. No scheduled public bus to Coco Point was verified. Road condition, vehicle suitability and the current lawful approach need local confirmation rather than directions copied from an old resort page.
On the beach
No public Coco Point lifeguard station or supervised bathing service was verified. Assess wind, swell, reefs and boat movement locally before swimming. Do not cross gates, construction areas or private resort paths on the assumption that they provide beach access; follow local instructions and postpone a visit if a safe approach cannot be established. Beach and access information ↗
02 / BEACH ESSENTIALS
Know before you go.
An access-sensitive shore beside private development, with no verified package of public beach services. Arrange the route and bring essentials.
01 / HOW TO GET THERE
From the village
Arrange a driver or host transfer from Codrington after confirming how you will reach the chosen stretch of Coco Point. A current public entrance, parking arrangement, fare and travel time were not established. Share the exact destination and return plan before leaving; do not drive into the residential development without authorization.
Coco Point development context ↗02 / BEACH ACCESS
Confirm access before travel
Barbuda Ocean Club identifies Coco Point as part of its private residential resort. A currently usable public landward approach was not verified in this review. Ask your host, a local guide or the Barbuda Council about the route and conditions; do not infer access from an old lodge website or a beach photograph.
03 / THE SAND
Pale sand at the point
Recent source-identified photographs show a pale sandy shore at Coco Point and Princess Diana Beach. Sand color varies with light, tide and shell material; a continuous pink beach is not promised. Watch for reef, debris and boat activity, and use secure footwear where the approach or waterline requires it.
04 / FOOD & WATER
Carry food and drinking water
No dependable public food stall, drinking-water refill point or walking-vendor service at Coco Point was verified. Bring all water and a picnic unless a named venue has confirmed your reservation. Nobu Barbuda is a separately operated restaurant on Princess Diana Beach; its service and access terms should not be generalized to the rest of the point.
05 / CHAIRS & UMBRELLAS
Do not assume rentals
No public chair or umbrella concession at Coco Point was confirmed. Bring portable shade and a towel. Nobu advertises reserved cabanas and day beds with specific paid terms, but those are venue facilities, not free beach equipment. Barbuda Ocean Club amenities are part of a private community and are not presented here as public rentals.
06 / RESTROOMS & SHOWERS
Public facilities unconfirmed
No public bathroom, shower, changing room, first-aid post or lifeguard station at Coco Point was verified. Nobu lists showers and changing rooms within its booked cabana service; confirm your entitlement directly. Use accommodation facilities before leaving, with permission, and carry a charged phone plus supplies for the return.
03 / THE BEACH
A day at Coco Point Beach.
Princess Diana Beach

Photo: CROIX (resized) ↗ · CC BY-SA 4.001 / ARRIVE
Use an agreed approach
Start only after your host or driver confirms a usable route.
02 / WATER
Read the conditions
Check the water and boat activity before deciding whether to swim.
03 / REST
Keep supplies close
Carry water, a picnic and portable shade.
04 / RETURN
Leave time for the ride
Reconfirm the driver rather than relying on a passing vehicle.
Begin with a local access check, then take a short beach walk that stays clear of buildings, work areas and boats. Swim only if the day’s conditions suit your ability. Take a shaded break with the supplies you brought, then leave with your arranged driver. If weather or access changes the plan, choose an open village café and save the shore for another day.
04 / NEARBY BEACHES
Other shores, with their own arrangements.
Low Bay, Spanish Point and Coral Group Bay are on Barbuda. Jolly Beach is on Antigua and requires a separate crossing; it is not part of a Coco Point beach walk. Photographs are location records, not evidence of current facilities.

05 / MUST-SEE
Three ways to see Barbuda.
CODRINGTON LAGOON
A locally guided bird-sanctuary trip
Ask a Barbudan operator about a permitted boat trip to the frigate-bird sanctuary, with the departure point, fees and conditions confirmed before booking. Do not enter the protected area independently, handle birds or assume that an old tour price still applies.
A locally guided bird-sanctuary trip information ↗HIGHLANDS / ATLANTIC SIDE
Two Foot Bay and the Highlands
Arrange a local guide for the limestone landscape, caves and coastal viewpoints. The source photographs show the Highlands, not a certified trail or open visitor facility. Confirm the current route, footwear, access permissions and weather; avoid unsupported climbing or entering unfamiliar caves.
Two Foot Bay and the Highlands information ↗CODRINGTON VILLAGE
Village streets and ArtCafe
Make time for the village and a confirmed ArtCafe stop on the Two Foot Bay road. Ask before photographing people, avoid entering homes or working areas and buy supplies before a remote shore visit. The streets are part of a living community, not a staged visitor attraction.
Village streets and ArtCafe information ↗EXPLORE THE AREA
Coco Point Beach and the surrounding area.
The approximate pin marks Coco Point on southern Barbuda. Codrington lies inland to the northwest, and the Highlands are farther north. Antigua is a separate island to the south. The pin is a locator, not an approved entrance, parking place or landing instruction.

Find your base.
BARBUDA / CORAL GROUP BAY
Barbuda Cottages
Unconfirmed · Request a current room quote for your dates.
The operator currently markets beachfront cottages and identifies Uncle Roddy’s as its on-site restaurant. This is a Barbuda base with a separately arranged journey to Coco Point. Ask the property to confirm transfers, supplies and the full room total; no old package price or automatic beach access is assumed.
Barbuda Cottages — map search ↗BARBUDA / NORTHWEST COAST
Barbuda Belle
Unconfirmed · Request a current room quote for your dates.
Barbuda Belle currently advertises accommodation and its Mangrove restaurant on Barbuda’s northwestern coast. Its remote setting requires transfer planning, so arrange the arrival route with the hotel before booking a separate Coco Point outing. Confirm meals, baggage and transport inclusions directly rather than expecting an independent roadside check-in.
Barbuda Belle — official information ↗BARBUDA / NORTHEAST ATLANTIC COAST
Frangipani Eco-Lodge
Unconfirmed · Request a current room quote for your dates.
This locally owned Barbuda operator currently offers a guesthouse and cabana in an off-grid Atlantic-coast setting. Choose it for a small-property stay, then plan Coco Point as a separate outing. Confirm electricity, connectivity, meals and collection arrangements before booking; it is not a serviced hotel on the Coco Point peninsula.
Frangipani Eco-Lodge — official information ↗ANTIGUA / DICKENSON BAY
Siboney Beach Club
Unconfirmed · Request a current room quote for your dates.
Siboney currently markets a beachfront hotel on Dickenson Bay on Antigua. It can serve an Antigua arrival or departure stay, but reaching Coco Point requires a separately booked ferry or flight and a Barbuda transfer. Check the complete room quote and allow time between the two islands’ connections.
Siboney Beach Club — official information ↗ANTIGUA / ENGLISH HARBOUR
The Inn at English Harbour
Unconfirmed · Request a current room quote for your dates.
The Inn’s current hotel site identifies its Antigua setting across from Nelson’s Dockyard, with accommodation and beachfront dining. Treat it as an Antigua stopover or a separate part of the trip. It is not a Barbuda hotel; arrange the island crossing and Coco Point driver independently of the room booking.
The Inn at English Harbour — official information ↗ANTIGUA / WEST COAST
Keyonna Beach
Unconfirmed · Request a current room quote for your dates.
Keyonna currently advertises an adults-only all-inclusive hotel on Antigua’s west coast. Choose it only if that accommodation format and island fit your plans, then book Barbuda travel separately. Ask about the full dated rate, eligibility and transfer timing; neither a Coco Point visit nor an inter-island crossing is implied.
Keyonna Beach — official information ↗
WHEN TO GO
Choose the day you want.
Check the Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Services forecast before any sea crossing or beach visit. Hurricane-season disruption and trade-wind conditions can affect plans. A calm-looking photograph is not a current marine forecast; confirm operator cancellation arrangements and keep flexibility around the inter-island connection.Weather and travel planning ↗
07 / FOOD & CULTURE
From sand to table.
Galleon Beach, Antigua
Galleon Beach and the surrounding Antigua coast viewed from Shirley Heights; this is not Barbuda.
Photo: giggel (resized) ↗ · CC BY 3.0What to order
Ask about locally landed fish, lobster when legally in season, fungi and other Barbudan cooking. Confirm what is available, the preparation and the full price before ordering. A restaurant reservation is separate from access to a beach club or private development; do not use a dining listing as permission to cross private land.
Local habits
Greet people before asking for directions, cover up for village shops and meals, and ask before photographing residents. Take litter away, leave sand and shells in place and respect working boats, homes and community spaces. Ask whether a quote is in US or Eastern Caribbean dollars before agreeing to it.

SIX RESTAURANTS
Where to eat.
BARBUDA / PRINCESS DIANA BEACH
Nobu Barbuda
Unconfirmed · Confirm the current menu and full meal total.
Nobu’s current restaurant page identifies Princess Diana Beach and publishes a lunch-service schedule. Book directly and confirm your arrival method, current hours and total. Its restaurant and reserved cabana service are distinct from general Coco Point beach facilities, and the operating restaurant should not be confused with the hotel development.
Nobu Barbuda — official information ↗BARBUDA / CORAL GROUP BAY
Uncle Roddy’s Beach Bar & Grill
Unconfirmed · Confirm the current menu and full meal total.
Barbuda Cottages’ current pages identify Uncle Roddy’s as its adjoining restaurant, with lunch and dinner service and local seafood. Arrange a table and the actual meeting point with the operator. This is a separate Barbudan coastal stop; current menus, seafood availability, transport and any use of accommodation facilities require confirmation.
Uncle Roddy’s Beach Bar & Grill — map search ↗BARBUDA / BARBUDA BELLE
The Mangrove
Unconfirmed · Confirm the current menu and full meal total.
Barbuda Belle’s own restaurant page lists The Mangrove for lunch and dinner in the hotel clubhouse. Contact the property about nonresident reservations and the transfer before planning a visit. Its remote hotel location is separate from Coco Point, and a restaurant listing does not guarantee an unannounced visitor can arrive or dine.
The Mangrove — official information ↗ANTIGUA / ENGLISH HARBOUR
Trappas
Unconfirmed · Confirm the current menu and full meal total.
Trappas currently maintains a restaurant site for its English Harbour business on Antigua, describing a casual setting and food service. Use it for a confirmed Antigua evening during a stopover rather than a meal on Barbuda. Ask for the current menu, booking arrangements and complete total before planning the ride home.
Trappas — official information ↗ANTIGUA / PIGEON POINT
Catherine’s Café
Unconfirmed · Confirm the current menu and full meal total.
The operator’s current pages identify Catherine’s Café at Pigeon Point on Antigua, with dining beside the beach. Book a table for an Antigua day and check seasonal hours and any seating conditions directly. It is not a Coco Point restaurant, and its beach setting does not remove the need for an inter-island plan.
Catherine’s Café — map search ↗ANTIGUA / FFRYES COAST
Sheer Rocks
Unconfirmed · Confirm the current menu and full meal total.
Sheer Rocks’ operator currently lists its restaurant at the Cocobay Resort setting on Antigua’s west coast. Confirm the meal format, reservations and any pool or lounging conditions before visiting. Include it in the Antigua part of your trip; neither resort facilities nor transport to Barbuda are included by implication.
Sheer Rocks — map search ↗08 / NIGHTLIFE
Three evening settings.
Uncle Roddy’s · Barbuda
The operator identifies Uncle Roddy’s as a beach bar and grill beside Barbuda Cottages. Confirm the current service and a return driver before settling in for a drink. Keep drinking separate from swimming or boating, and do not assume the venue is on the Coco Point peninsula. Uncle Roddy’s · Barbuda information ↗
Nobu bar service · Barbuda
Nobu’s beach-club page lists beverage service as part of separately arranged venue facilities on Princess Diana Beach. Ask the restaurant about the appropriate reservation and access conditions, including whether a dining booking is sufficient. This is not a public bar concession serving every Coco Point beach visitor. Nobu bar service · Barbuda information ↗
Shirley Heights Lookout · Antigua
The Lookout’s current site describes a locally owned restaurant and bar on Antigua, with music and dining programs. Check the current program and arrange a sober driver before going. It belongs to an Antigua evening plan, with a separate island crossing required for a subsequent Barbuda visit. Shirley Heights Lookout · Antigua information ↗
Keep a Barbuda evening close to your confirmed accommodation or prearranged driver. Antigua venues are on a different island and do not provide an evening return to Coco Point. Never rely on an unconfirmed late ferry, a passing boat or walking through private development after dark.
Keep Barbuda and Antigua shopping plans separate. Ask for the currency, a receipt and transport-safe packing, and check any restrictions before carrying food, liquids, plant material or animal-derived products across a border. Retail prices and date-specific stock are unconfirmed.
Choose a local keepsake.
BARBUDA / CODRINGTON AREA
ArtCafe
The owner’s current ArtCafe pages describe a gallery and shop on the Two Foot Bay road with locally made crafts, ceramics, cards and other small gifts. Ask which pieces are available and request packing for anything fragile. Buy made objects rather than taking sand or natural material from the shore.
Hours The operator publishes daytime service, generally around 10 a.m.–4 p.m. except Sunday; reconfirm before traveling.
ArtCafe — official information ↗ANTIGUA / HERITAGE QUAY
Abbott’s Jewellery & Perfumery
The Antigua hotels and tourism association currently lists Abbott’s at Heritage Quay in St. John’s. This is an Antigua shopping stop, not a shop on Barbuda. Confirm the branch, current hours and product details directly, and ask about any tax, customs or warranty conditions before making a purchase.
Hours Current daily opening hours were not verified; confirm the store is serving before a special trip.
Abbott’s Jewellery & Perfumery — map search ↗ANTIGUA / REDCLIFFE QUAY
Zemi Art Gallery
Current visitor and retail listings identify Zemi’s art-and-craft business in Redcliffe Quay, St. John’s, Antigua. Browse local work during an Antigua stopover and ask the maker or shop about materials, origin and transport. The listing is not used to promise a specific item or an unverified daily opening schedule.
Hours Published listings disagree on hours; confirm current service before traveling.
Zemi Art Gallery — map search ↗Ask whether a price is in US or Eastern Caribbean dollars and whether card payment is accepted. Request a receipt and export-safe packing for art; avoid coral and wildlife souvenirs.
10 / EVENTS & MONEY
Plan around the season.
Caribana · Barbuda, around May
Barbuda’s Caribana season brings community celebrations, music and cultural activity around May. Check the current organizer’s program before booking the crossing or a room. No particular performance, venue, ticket price or numbered calendar date is promised here.
Caribana · Barbuda, around May information ↗Sailing season · Antigua, around April
Antigua’s tourism authority describes April as regatta season, and Antigua Sailing Week publishes its own race information. These events are on Antigua, not Coco Point. Confirm the current format, public viewing arrangements and any venue booking separately.
Sailing season · Antigua, around April information ↗Money · Eastern Caribbean dollar
The Eastern Caribbean dollar (XCD, EC$) is the local currency. US-dollar quotes also appear in visitor services; always ask which currency is meant and whether taxes or service charges are additional. Confirm card acceptance and carry a sensible cash reserve before leaving the village.
Money · Eastern Caribbean dollar information ↗11 / WHAT TO WEAR
Bring shade and a village layer.
COCO POINT BEACH KIT
Swim.
Walk.
Stay out.
On the sand
Choose swimwear suited to your planned beach time, with a sun hat, sunscreen and a light shirt or cover-up. Carry all the supplies you need rather than assuming a public beach service will be available.
For the walk away from the sand
Use secure sandals or shoes for the actual approach your guide confirms. Avoid unfamiliar reef, debris and building areas, and keep enough water and energy for the return journey.
In town
Change out of wet swimwear and cover up for Codrington shops, restaurants and transport. Keep dry clothes in a bag and follow any venue dress requirements.
12 / FAQ
Good to know.
Is Coco Point the same name as Princess Diana Beach?
Official tourism material describes Princess Diana Beach as the shore formerly called Coco Point Beach. Local businesses also use Coco Point for the peninsula and development. Confirm the exact stretch and arrival point; the names should not be used as a substitute for access instructions.
Can I enter through the private resort?
A public day-visitor route through the development was not verified. Confirm a usable approach with a local host or appropriate authority before departure, respect gates and work areas, and do not treat private paths or resort facilities as public beach services.
Does Nobu provide public beach facilities?
Nobu advertises booked restaurant and beach-club services on Princess Diana Beach, including cabana facilities with specific conditions. These are not evidence of freely available toilets, showers, shade or lifeguards along Coco Point. The hotel brand describes the separate Nobu Beach Inn as in development; it is not listed here as an operating stay. Confirm exactly what your restaurant or cabana reservation includes.
Can I use old Coco Point Lodge directions?
Do not rely on legacy lodge or airport descriptions as current operating information. Hurricane Irma in 2017 and subsequent development changed the context. Confirm the present ferry dock, airline terminal, transfer and shore approach with the current operators.
Are the Antigua venues close enough for a beach-day meal?
They are on a separate island. An Antigua hotel, shop, restaurant or bar requires its own road transport and a confirmed ferry or flight connection. Treat those venues as stopover options, not as places beside Coco Point.
