Shirley Heights

This rambling array of gun emplacements and military buildings is best known today for the absolutely breathtaking prospect that it offers. From the Heights one can look far out over English Harbour, and on Sunday afternoons the view is accompanied by barbecue, rum punch, and the plangent strains of steel band and reggae music. The site is named for General Shirley, Governor of the Leeward Islands when the area was fortified in the late eighteenth century. Close by is the cemetery, in which stands an obelisk erected in honour of the soldiers of the 54th regiment.

Sea View Farm Village

Antiguan folk pottery dates back at least to the early 18th century, when slaves fashioned cooking vessels from local clay. Today, folk pottery is fashioned in a number of places around Antigua, but the center of this cottage industry is Sea View Farm Village. The clay is collected from pits located nearby, and the wares are fired in an open fire under layers of green grass in the yards of the potters' houses. Folk pottery can be purchased at outlets in the village as well as at a number of stores around the island. Buyers should be aware that Antiguan folk pottery breaks rather easily in cold environments.

--------------------------------------...

Harmony Hall Art Gallery

Harmony Hall, in Brown's Bay at Nonsuch Bay, is the center of the Antiguan arts community. Exhibits change throughout the year, but the annual highlights are the Antigua Artist's Exhibition and the Craft Fair, both in November. The sugar mill tower around which Harmony Hall is built has been converted to a bar and provides its patrons with one of the island's best panoramic views, including a fine prospect of Nonsuch Bay.

Museum of Antigua and Barbuda

This charming museum tells the story of Antigua and Barbuda from its geological birth through the present day. A cool oasis in the middle of St. John's, the museum contains a wide variety of fascinating objects and exhibits, ranging from a life-size replica of an Arawak dwelling to the bat of Viv Richards, one of the greatest cricket players of all time.

Answer 2

Antigua is a little bit of paradise it is actually a tiwn island state Barbuda being the other. Wonderful 365 beaches one for each day of the year. The people are friendly and there is never a rush.  

There are more to see than just sea and sand. Explore the island by land with one of the off road trail tours, by air in a helicopter ride and sea on one of the catamarang cruises like Wadadli Cats dance away on board the Coral Ark, mix and mingle with the locals.

Walk with your appitie and satify you taste buds with our local cusine dine at places like O.J's Beach bar and resturant or Turners Beach Bar and resturant for the best local Pizza check out Big Banna. Schedule a trip to the Antigua Brewery to see in making our own beer - Wadali Beer.

At night, awaken to the other side of paradice, dance the night away at one of the local disco like The Coast, Club Savour or party like the pirates out at Nelson Dockyard or just relax in the cool evening breeze and watch the stars if you are luck you might see a shooting star.

If you really like to party then book your flight for the Antigua Carnival its a non stop week of party all night long!

If you need to keep in touch with the spiritual aspect church is no problem from the Saboth Worshipers, to the Sunday Worshipers and the Rastahfarians will all welcome you to join their fellowship.

There are various types of accomodation from all-inclusive hotels to condominions. From sea- front resorts to quiet hide aways over looking the sea.

Antigua nice! Only until you experience it for yourself will you know what it's like and i am sure you will want to make it a home away from home. check out the web sight www.antiguanice.com
