点评:I've taken this review from my blog post which you can connect to through my blog.
Just 5 minutes up the coast from Darkwood Beach, coming back towards home is Ffryes Beach.
For much of the day, we spent here, it felt as though we had stumbled across a quiet corner of Antigua that everyone else had forgotten about. Apart from a handful of visitors stretched out beneath the trees that line the beach, there was plenty of space and very little noise.
We decided to hire a couple of sunbeds and an umbrella and made a point of finding the person responsible so we could pay for them. Judging by the number of people using the facilities throughout the day, not everyone seemed quite as concerned about settling up and supporting the local economy.
The sea was beautifully calm and clear, making it easy to spend long periods drifting between swimming, snorkelling and simply floating. Beneath the surface we spotted a few fish and several tiny starfish, which was an unexpected bonus. Another surprise was the number of yachts that appeared during the day. Every so often another would glide into the bay and drop anchor, adding to the relaxed atmosphere.
Behind us, the Tikki Bar provided a soundtrack of familiar 1980s songs that drifted across the sand throughout the afternoon and I have written a separate review for this.
The rest of the day passed at an unhurried pace. We read our books, stretched out in the sunshine and wandered into the sea whenever the heat became too much. There was nothing particularly remarkable about the day in the conventional sense, no grand sights or adventures, but that was exactly what made it memorable.
Sometimes the best travel days are simply the ones where there is nowhere to be, nothing to tick off a list, and enough time to appreciate the simple pleasure of doing very little in a beautiful place.

从达克伍德海滩沿着海岸线向家的方向走5分钟,就能到达弗里斯海滩。
我们在那里度过了大半天时间,感觉就像偶然发现了安提瓜岛上一个被众人遗忘的静谧角落。除了少数几名游客躺在海滩边的树下休息外,那里空间宽敞且几乎没有任何噪音。我们决定租几张日光浴床和一把遮阳伞,还特意去找负责人以支付费用。从一整天使用这些设施的人数来看,似乎并非每个人都像我们这样关心及时付款、支持当地经济。
海面平静而清澈,让人可以尽情享受游泳、浮潜或只是漂浮在水面上的惬意时光。在水面之下,我们看到了几条鱼以及好几只小小的海星,这真是个意外的惊喜。另一个令人惊喜的现象就是白天时出现的游艇数量之多——不时有新的游艇缓缓驶入海湾并抛下锚,进一步增添了这里的闲适氛围。
在我们身后,Tikki酒吧播放着熟悉的80年代歌曲,乐声整个下午都回荡在沙滩上。关于这家酒吧,我已经另写了一篇评论。
这一天的其余时光则以从容不迫的节奏缓缓流逝。我们捧着书,躺在阳光下;当天气过于炎热时,便漫步入海。从传统意义上来说,这一天并没有什么特别出彩之处,没有什么壮观的景致或惊险的冒险,但正因如此,它才令人难忘。
有时候,最美好的旅行日子就是那种无需前往任何地方、无需完成任何待办事项,却有足够时间去尽情享受在美景中无所事事的惬意时光的日子。
