Antigua by Sea & Land

Tropical Splendor Spills into a Marine Wonderland Discover Antigua’s history and coastal beauty during a visit to key maritime sites, and snorkel among coral reefs. Drive into Antigua’s tropical countryside en route to English Harbor, where you will enjoy a guided visit to Nelson’s Dockyard, the naval base for the Crown during the 18th century. Today, its well-preserved buildings comprise the only remaining Georgian dockyard in the world. After free time in the museum, continue to the Blockhouse. Once part of a formidable military complex, these ruins now offer striking views over the coast and the Atlantic Ocean. Next, travel to Shirley Heights to take in the sweeping island views from atop this former signal station.
