The Best Things to Do in Antigua and Barbuda
Briefly

'The imposing fortifications of Shirley Heights are set high above English Harbour and named after General Thomas Shirley, who arrived here in 1781. But they enjoy a peaceful role now: Sundays here are legendary and it's a good chance for visitors to mingle with the locals. From 4:00 p.m. the Lookout Bar hosts live steel bands and reggae beats.'
'Go out to sea with fantastic off-shore reefs and bath-warm waters; Antigua & Barbuda is an excellent place to don a mask and fins, where a Sea Escape tour allows for swimming amongst the reefs, exploring hidden wrecks, and drinking rum punch. Head to Green Island to spot unique marine life including lobsters and nurse sharks.'
'For breathtaking views across Antigua, Monks Hill is a little-known trail leading past the ruins of 18th-century Fort George and onto a knoll with jaw-dropping vistas out to sea. Early risers should join the 5am Hike Club for the sunrise walk to capture the island's beauty at dawn.'
'At Turners Beach Bar, you can experience a toes-in-the-sand feast, enjoying dishes like curried lobster and whole roasted red snapper while sipping on a fiery rum punch at Rachel's Bar. Castaways in Jolly Harbour offers a buzzy atmosphere for sundowners, perfect for mixing with the yacht set at sunset.'
