Nelson’s Dockyard National Park
If you are in Antigua, you got to visit this one! Nelson’s Dockyard National Park is one of the most sought after attractions in Antigua and a potent reason why people book their flights tickets to the island! Offering rich history, the park is a perfect place to visit if you are done (or need a break from) exploring the beaches of Antigua. It would need more than one trip for you to explore all of the dockyard but some of the best ones that you must visit are Dockyard Museum, Dow’s Hill Interpretation Centre, and of course any of its restaurants (or cafés).
Shirley Heights
Are you a hiker? If you are, you cannot miss Shirley Heights while in Antigua. You can make the hike from English Harbour in Nelson’s Dockyard National Park to the peak of Shirley Heights. If you are lucky, and the day is clear, you will witness some of the most breathtaking views. As this is the place where locals gather to party, so expect some Caribbean music, barbecues, and pumping crowd in the evening. Do remember that if you are travelling to the summit of Shirley Heights, do not stop at any other place to eat or drink as the good ones sit at the peak.
