What to do and see in Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda: The Best Sights & Landmarks

January 17, 2022 Yuk Petri

Antigua has hundreds of beaches, from the bustling Pigeon Point to the kitesurfing paradise of Jabberwock Beach. It's fun to mix it up—a day spent in a secluded cove, another spent people-watching at a tourist magnet. When you’re tired of sun and sand you can shoot ‘em up at Reservoir Range, where archery and air pistols are a fun way to work out any lingering pre-vacation stress. A tour of the Antigua Distillery is a spirited way to experience a true taste of the island.

Claremont Farms

Reviewed By BRad422 - Phoenix, United States

Directions: From Fig Tree/Andy Roberts Dr. you'll see two large rock columns and in front of those, a small covered garden with a yellow (in Aug) flowered vine. Follow this road through the columns and when the road forks, stay left. This roads curves then runs direct into the farm, recognized by a fence with a large pineapple. Lucy, the dog, will bark to let Grant know of your arrival. Park in front of the house and he'll be right out. If you get lost ask the friendly locals where to find Grant's pineapple farm :) What to expect: - wear closed toe shoes if possible, you'll be walking through ankle-high brush; this is a farm tour - dirt roads to get to the farm, but our mini rental made it - 30 min tour of the farmland - history and farming techniques of the pineapple - Black pineapple, plus mangoes, sweet potatoes, and other trees What exceeded expectations: - beautiful sunset during our tour, we arrived about 5pm - behind the scenes info and history - incredibly beautiful countryside - our tour exceeded 30 min as we enjoyed in depth convo with Grant and his personal history and passions; this was special and not to be expected especially during busy times - fruit to take home!

Monk's Hill

Also known as Fort George, this fort was built in 1689 to defend the British settlers against invasions from the French and the Arawak indians.

An early morning hike up this hill provided exercise, a picturesque view and great opportunity to see a historical site. The st. George Fort as it is also called gives one a glimpse into bygone slavery days.

Hell's Gate

Reviewed By live-in-florida

Jump from a boat, swim to the gate, climb up and smell the fresh air. The climb up/down is a bit tricky make sure you have adequate shoes. To get the best from this place use a guide, we went with Adventure Antigua - Eli's Original Eco Tour
