Antigua Beach

Antigua is the ultimate romantic getaway location, with 365 beaches offering a dazzling array of picture-perfect settings. The beautiful leeward island of Antigua is just 14 miles long by 11 miles wide (22.5 by 17 kilometers), yet claims to have a beach for every day of the year. With every single one of the 365 soft, powdery sand beaches open to the public, the only challenge is picking a favorite.

Falmouth

Falmouth Harbour is located on the southeastern coast of Antigua in the Caribbean and spans several Beaches, Hotels, Marinas and other Marine and non-Marine operations, The Falmouth Harbour plays an important role in the Islands Geography and History. The villages of Falmouth, Cobbs Cross and English Harbour plus the surrounding communities share this extensive Harbour and it is an integral part of everyday life.

The Harbour has great views of the surrounding areas and the reverse is quite true as well. Falmouth Harbour is a great place to visit and enjoy and worth more than a passing glance. So feel free to experience the many Beaches, Island Marinas and fantastic seascape and landscape views.

Shirley Heights

Shirley Heights is a restored military lookout and gun battery. The Lookout is a high point (about 490 ft.) that affords a superb view of English and Falmouth Harbours, the best view in Antigua. The view is especially spectacular at sunset and early evening when all of English Harbour is all lit up.

A spectacular view over English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour greets your eyes, showing you the scene that is often used as the iconic image of Antigua. A visit to Shirley Heights is considered one of the must-do events in Antigua. The buildings have been adapted to function as a restaurant and bar and its famous Sunday evening party is always a hit.

From 4 pm until 10 pm every Sunday, party until the sun goes down on another week with drink, a barbecue, local bands playing a mixture of Caribbean flavoured music and international hits from over the decades whilst overlooking one of the most stunning views in the world.

Betty's Hope

This is a sugar plantation site where one of the two sugar mill towers has been fully restored complete with sails. With a small interpretation center and interpretation signage throughout the estate, this heritage landmark is well worth a visit. Betty’s Hope was one of the earliest sugar plantations, dating to 1651.

Throughout its 300-year history, Betty’s Hope played a prominent role in Antigua and Barbuda history and influenced the lives of many generations of Antiguans.

Today about 112 sugar mill towers still dot the countryside of this independent nation, reminding us of the days of slavery under King Sugar. A map of the remaining mills can be seen at the Interpretation Centre.

Devil's Bridge

Devil’s Bridge, located outside the village of Willikies, offers a stunning glimpse into Antigua’s natural formation. Composed of limestone rock, the rugged terrain of Devil’s Bridge is the result of millions of years of ancient reef formation.

For hundreds of thousands of years, the Atlantic’s waves have crashed into the east coast of Antigua creating a natural arch, or bridge. Numerous geysers and blowholes surround the arch as waves continually break against the coastal rocks.

The history of Devil’s Bridge is shrouded in tragedy. It’s said to be a place where enslaved Africans would go to commit suicide in a final effort to escape the horrors of slavery. The arch got the name “Devil’s Bridge” because people at the time believed that the devil must live there.

St. John's

The skyline of St. John's, the capital and largest city of Antigua and Barbuda, is dominated by the magnificently evocative white baroque towers of St. John's Cathedral. Built-in 1845, the church is now in its third incarnation, as earthquakes in 1683 and in 1745 destroyed the previous structures. The towers are the first sight of Antigua for about half of the island's visitors each year, many of whom arrive by boat. With its recently completed cruise ship dock and several hotels, St. John's is a lively hub for shopping and dining.

There is the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda, housed in the colonial Court House (1750). The museum displays both Arawak and colonial artifacts recovered from archaeological digs on the islands. It also features an Arawak house, models of sugar plantations, etc.

On Friday and Saturday mornings, be sure to visit the vibrant farmers market on the southern edge of the city. Folk crafts, colorful tropical fruits, and a buzzing crowd make for a lively morning.
