You can easily spend a day exploring English Harbour, which is home to one of Antigua’s top landmarks: Nelson’s Dockyard, a marina and UNESCO World Heritage Site. In addition to shops and highly-rated restaurants, Nelson’s Dockyard features a historical shipyard and small museum. The harbor’s Pigeon Point Beach is a quiet spot loved by locals that offers views of boats and yachts sailing through the Caribbean.
Basic tours of the island typically include a stop at Nelson’s Dockyard and provide insight into English Harbour’s history. As a hub for cafés and restaurants, cooking classes are often offered in English Harbour and are a popular way to experience the island’s culture. In addition to sailing lessons, boat tours offer unparalleled views of the coastline and harbor landmarks.
