Island Activities

Things to Do In Antigua

If you want to go exploring outside of our Caribbean resort, let Blue Waters of St. John’s be your gateway to Antigua Island. Our expert team can assist in arranging all of the island activities you desire. Here is a quick roundup of things to see and do in Antigua:

English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard:
Antigua was discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1493 and was a British Colony up until its independence in 1981, and as a result, it has an incredible history. English Harbour is one “must see” destination as it was Lord Horatio Nelson’s home for quite some time. The Museum of Antigua & Barbuda is housed in the old Court House at the corner of Long and Market Streets. Built in 1750, it's the oldest building in Antigua. Exhibits explore Antigua's geological origins and political history, the culture of the Arawaks (with a life-sized house), and a model sugar plantation. The museum is also a good source of information on other historic sites dotting the island. On Church Street is the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which has been called "the most imposing of all Cathedrals in the West Indian Province".

Local Market:
The local market at the south end of town at the junction of Valley and All Saints Roads is a riot of colorful fruits, vegetables, and spices, and people haggling for them. Buy delicious pineapples - Antigua's are considered some of the world's best.

Cricket:
World-class cricket players and an electric atmosphere are just two of the reasons why a trip to a cricket ground is a must. Antigua is home to the legendary Sir Viv Richards, former West Indian cricket captain, as well as Andy Roberts, Richie Richardson, and Curtly Ambrose.

Antigua Sailing Week:
Taking place from late April to early May, Antigua Sailing Week consists of intense yacht racing and partying. Many people travel to Antigua from all over the globe to enjoy the racing atmosphere both on and off shore.

Shopping:
Duty-free shopping in St. John’s is at its best in Heritage and Redcliff Quays. There’s a great selection of designer labels. The resort has its own boutique where guests can find a variety of local gifts and souvenirs.

Diving:
Antigua and nearby Barbuda are great diving spots. Coral reefs, walls, and shipwrecks are to be found surrounding the coasts. There is little or no current and in most places the average water temperature is around 80°F. For those who like wreck diving in particular, the Andes merchant ship in Deep Bay is a must.
