A Weekend in Antigua

Friday
Arrive after lunch, jump in the ocean and have dinner outside at Cecilia's High Point Cafe on the island's north coast.

Saturday
Head to Half Moon Bay, a beautiful beach, for the day. Order the grilled lobster plate for lunch at its beachside Beach Bum Bar & Grill, a casual, open-air restaurant.
After lunch, spend the afternoon in the rainforest at the Fig Tree Studio Art Gallery, which compiles and sells work in many mediums by Caribbean artists.
Or, if you're craving more time on the water, spend the afternoon at 40knots in a kitesurfing or windsurfing lesson.
Have dinner at Famous Mauro’s, a wood oven pizzeria in St. Paul’s Parish. Eat outside on their patio before driving to English Harbor for a cocktail at Colibri and to walk the docks by moonlight.

Sunday
Spend Sunday morning in English Harbor with its fruit stands, small galleries and You & Me Café.
Have a long lunch at The Reef, a beautiful restaurant on Green Island, just an easy boat ride away. Order cocktails, lobster salad and fresh fish. Wear a bathing suit under your clothes to swim between courses.
In the evening, drive to Shirley Heights to watch the sun set over English Harbor with a live steel band, rum punches and barbecue.

Monday
Before your flight home, you can head back to the beach - Galleon Beach is particularly beautiful. You can explore St. John's, the island's capital. Don’t miss Miranda Askie Jewelry, Natura Honey and Jams or Sarah Fuller's Pottery outpost. Bring home bottles of Susie’s Hot Sauce.
Or you can hike! If you'd like to explore the island, contact local Nick Hart (@happy_heights) for a guided hike somewhere you can only reach by foot.
