|
STINGRAY CITYEnchanting 'Stingray City' Antigua, fringed and protected by its own reef is where the delightfully calm, crystal-clear waters make possible an actual swim with the rays
SHIRLEY HEIGHTSThis rambling array of gun emplacements and military buildings is best known today for the absolutely breathtaking prospect that it offers. From the Heights one can look far out over English Harbour. On Sunday afternoons the view is accompanied by barbecue, rum punch, and the plangent strains of steel band and reggae music.
BETTY'S HOPE SUGAR PLANTATIONBetty's Hope was the first large sugar plantation on Antigua. Its success led to the island's rapid development of large-scale sugar production.
INDIAN TOWN NATIONAL PARKIndian Town Point, on the eastern extremity of the island, is thought to have been an Arawak campsite prior to the arrival of European colonists. Devil's Bridge, a large, natural limestone arch on the shoreline of Indian Town Point, offers one of the most spectacular sights on the island. |
NELSON'S DOCKYARDEnglish Harbour, Antigua's graceful and evocative historic district, is focused on the fifteen square miles of Nelson's Dockyard National Park. Originally developed as a base for the British Navy, today Nelson's Dockyard has been completely restored, and it is now the only Georgian dockyard in the world.
MUSEUM OF ANTIGUA AND BARBUDAThis charming museum tells the story of Antigua and Barbuda from its geological birth through the present day.
FORT JAMESAntigua's most picturesque drive meanders from the low central plain of the island up into the ancient volcanic hills of the Parish of Saint Mary.
BARBUDAActivities on Barbuda are appropriately relaxed and visitors can enjoy fishing, beachcombing, golf, tennis, snorkeling, diving, or for the sun seekers you can simply enjoy the beaches. Points of interest include the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, the truly noteworthy pink and white sand beaches, and an abundance of shipwrecks and beautiful reefs. Barbuda can be reached easily from Antigua, either by air (a 20-minute flight, twice daily) or by boat (in 3 hours). |
