Antigua and Barbuda Sights

Sights

Sights Cricket is the Antiguan sport. Games are played at the Recreation Ground in St John's or at any of the 365 beaches on the island. Or on any spare bit of ground. Carnival - from late July to early August the Recreation Ground in St John's is liberated from the cricket fans and is home to the islands main festival. Nelson's Dockyard - Historic English dockyard in English Harbour. Barbuda hosts a huge frigate bird colony, making it one of the few places in the world to view frigate birds. Activities Scuba - there are many reefs off the eastern coastline and as a result, there is some pretty awesome fish to see. Snorkelling is also pretty good here, as the water is very clear, and it's a lot cheaper! Sailing - dinghys, cats, cruisers can all be hired from alot of places around the island, and there are plenty of coves and natural harbours to explore (and pretend to be Jack Sparrow in.) Why not lay claim to the uninhabited island of Redonda? The current king lives in England somewhere and he won't mind... Party at Shirley Heights (an old British fort near Falmouth) to Antiguan music and see the spectacular sunset over English Harbour. Entry is US$4, which usually includes a free drink.
