Antigua - Exploring Nelson’s Dockyard and Pigeon Beach : Ep.11
Our first stop of the Princess Cruise was Antiqua. We had been sailing for 2 days and I was excited to set foot on some dry land and do some sight-seeing. We arrived at port in St. Johns and did some searching for internet to see what a bus ticket would cost to ride over to Nelson’s Dockyard, an old british dock from the colonial era. Traveler Tip: do not go to the bar/restaurant right at the port that advertises “FREE WIFI”. They make you buy something and then they give you a password for wifi that doesn’t connect.
Undeterred we ventured on and found that a bus pass to Nelson’s Dockyard was only $2 each way. You have to walk about half-mile to the bus station and then the ride is about 45 minutes. Once at Nelson’s Dockyard you will buy a pass for approx. $8-$10 US. The Dockyard is very interesting. There are several cannons on display as well as a restaurant and maritime museum. If you are feeling adventurous you can take a walk out to the fortress that was built in 1785 .. to protect the british fleet at English Harbour.
After checking out the fortress, I decided to take a 1 mile hike from the fortress to Pigeon Beach. The hike was not too bad and the views were well worth it. Along the hike you will encounter several lookout points that the British Navy built to protect the Harbour. Once at Pigeon Beach I took I a nice stroll and soaked in the sand and sea. The locals were very friendly and helpful. On my walk back to Nelson’s Dockyard, I got caught in a tropical rainstorm. But I can’t say that I cared as it cooled my down after my long sweaty hike.
I caught a bus back to St. John’s and I still had 3 hours until the ship departed so I hopped on another bus from St. John’s to Dickenson Bay. The beach at Dickenson Bay is nice but nothing extra special here. I enjoyed a nice walk up and down the beach and then caught a shuttle back to port with some cruisers from Wales. Overall I really enjoyed the history of Nelson’s Dockyard and would love to see other beaches if I return.

Ce site fait également partie du complexe militaire de Shirley Heights. C'est à cet endroit que se trouvaient jadis les quartiers des officiers, des domestiques ainsi que des écuries. Aujourd'hui, il n'en reste que des ruines.
Le bâtiment de la poudrière a cependant été rénové récemment.
On s'y rend surtout pour le splendide point de vue donnant sur la côte sud-est de l'île.
On peut d'ailleurs y apercevoir l'immense complexe appartenant à Eric Clapton.
