Devil’s Bridge
The constant battering received from the ocean
waves over time has carved a natural arch in
the limestone on the eastern side of the island
creating “Devil’s Bridge”. It is a natural wonder
which fascinates the young and old. Powerful
water often blasts through its blowholes so care
should be taken when in its vicinity. This is a
definite must-visit which will give you an added
appreciation of nature’s power and beauty.

Shirley Heights
Take a hike up to the summit and be
rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views
of Guadeloupe and Monsterrat which may
be in sight on a clear day. In the evening, a
beautiful sunset awaits. There’s live music on
Sundays at the restaurant that sits at the top
and you can relax and socialize with locals
and tourists in a friendly, lively atmosphere.

St. John’s Saturday Market
Experience a piece of the authentic Antigua
at its local Saturday market where you can
purchase local art, craft, souvenirs and
produce from friendly vendors. The vibe is
truly island-style hustle and bustle, colourful
and aromatic. Be sure to leave with a
treasured piece for your memory chest from
the many options available. Don’t forget
to try some of the local food and the sweet
Antiguan Black Pineapple.
