Upon departing the Interpretation Centre in Antigua, which you can learn more about by referring to the earlier section regarding its significance, our next destination was Shirley Heights.
Shirley Heights is well-known in Antigua for its Sunday gatherings and picturesque sunsets; from this vantage point, one can even observe the island of Montserrat. This location was certainly one I was eager to experience.
The panoramic view of the English Harbour from this location is undoubtedly the finest on the island.
Endless Caribbean blues stretch from this vantage point as far as the eye can see…
Regrettably, we had to bid farewell to that stunning view and proceed to prepare for the lively party and dance festival scheduled for later that night…
As I prepared to acquire an Antiguan keepsake, I inadvertently became engaged in conversation with the vendor, who surprisingly was familiar with my driver, sharing interesting anecdotes about their time in school together!
As we journeyed inward, the scenery transitioned from the stunning beaches to vibrant, tropical foliage!
As we navigated through the forest and towering mountains, we made our way back to the coastline and glimpsed one pristine beach after another…
In summary, it is essential to note that Antigua is home to 365 beaches—one for each day of the year. If there is any Caribbean destination suited for a beach vacation, this is undoubtedly it!
