We love coming to Antigua because it enjoys a pleasant tropical climate all year round (between 28 and 32 degrees C. Rainy season is from September to November. During this time rains tend to be short, sharp showers rather than rain for extended periods of the day. It doesn’t affect the sunshine for long!

The Island is great for kids, very relaxing and the local people are open and friendly.

Outside Jolly Harbour are loads of places definitely worth visiting. Hiring a car is essential to explore the Island and have a truly memorable holiday.

Places that we have visited and enjoyed:

- St. John's (capital)

You don't need a car to get to St. Johns. Take the number 20 local bus which stops right outside the main entrance to Jolly Harbour. The journey to St. Johns takes around 15 minutes and costs about EC$3 per person (less than £1). St. John's has a great duty free shopping area where the cruise ships come in specialising in jewellery and clothing.

- English Harbour & Shirley Heights

About a 40 minute drive from Jolly Harbour, English Harbour is a graceful and evocative historic district which is focused on the fifteen square miles of Nelsons Dockyard National Park. Developed as a base for the British Navy in the great age of sail, the harbour served as the headquarters of the fleet of the Leeward Islands during the turbulent years of the late 18th century. Today Nelsons Dockyard has been completely restored, and it is now the only Georgian dockyard in the world.

There are lots of restaurants here as well as some seriously big yachts.

Shirley Heights is only open from Sunday afternoon and into the evening. Fantastic views of sunset, steel bands and great barbeques. Very popular with locals and visitors alike. It is situated just beyond English Harbour. Entry fee is payable locally.

- Beaches

There are 365 beaches in Antigua, all of which are open to the public all year round. All are beautiful, but Half Moon Bay in particular is lovely. It is quite a drive from Jolly Harbour, about 50 minutes and you'll need to take a picnic, but it is worth it. Great beach and great waves to mess around in. The sea is calmer on the left side of the bay.

To explore other beaches just drive out of Jolly Harbour, turn right and keep going till you find somewhere you like the look of. There are restaurants dotted all around the island for lunches and drinks.

- Barbuda

For a truely unspoiled taste of the Caribbean, visit Barbuda with it's seemingly endless beaches. Get there by the Barbuda Express Ferry for a day visit or take a 2 day sailing trip.

Devil's Bridge on the north east side of the Island is worth a look and is a spectacular example of how the ocean erodes the land.

Betty's Hope is a restored sugar plantation in the centre of the Island and is considered to be an interesting site.
