Built by the famous Admiral Lord Nelson this is an ideal starting point for exploring the coastline and some of Antigua’s lovely beaches. This historic area is now known as much for its lively pubs and restaurants as its fascinating history. Nearby Shirley Heights is popular for its famous “Jump Up” BBQs and punch parties with dancing and live music.

Jolly Harbour: Situated on the sheltered Leeward side of the island, the approach to Jolly Harbour Marina is through gorgeous aquamarine water amidst beautiful bays and quiet sandy beaches - all of which are accessible and just a short boat ride away.
