Antiguan Sightseeing

Last weekend, Dave took me for a wee tour of the island (or should I say - a tour of the wee island!).

Jolly Harbour: Our first stop was at Jolly Harbour, which is on the west coast, south of St John's. This is a very tourist-centric area with a resort, shops, a casino, and a marina as you can see in this picture.

Darkwood Beach: This beach is on the south side of the island and we had to stop and take photos. As you can see the colours in the water are just stunning. This is probably the most beautiful beach I have seen here so far.



Nelson's Dockyard: We stopped in and had a look through Nelson's Dockyard. This was Horatio Nelson's base in the Caribbean. There are some amazing old buildings and some beautiful boats in the harbour.

(I have attempted to add some photos of Nelson's Dockyard about 6 times with no luck. Will try again later.)

Shirley Heights: We then drove up to Shirley Heights to check out the amazing view of English Harbour and Falmouth Harbour. How beautiful is this view?!

Here are some of the locals on the road up to the lookout...
