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.

This is just a very chilled scene, hanging out on Pigeon Beach, Antigua, as the sun set behind us. It's not a particularly exciting clip but it demonstrates what makes all that sailing across the Atlantic worthwhile.

Royal Princess 2018 - Ep. 5 Galleon Beach, English Harbour, Antigua - January 22, 2018
January 22, 2018 - Galleon Beach, Freeman's Bay, English Harbour, Antigua
From Nelson's Dockyard, we boarded the water taxi to drop us off on Galleon Beach. It was a great place for sailboats to anchor, and not very crowded in the harbour.
Other than one other couple and a couple of families, we were the only ones on the beach that day. We brought sandwiches with us, and had a little picnic. It was a Monday, and the beach bar was closed.
All in all, a lovely, quiet time for swimming and relaxing.

English Harbour, Antigua
My sailing adventures in the Caribbean sailing single handed. Antigua a nice place to visit with a great harbor. There are numerous good anchorages around the island.
Galleon Beach
Galleon Beach is situated at Freeman's Bay in English Harbour on the southern tip of Antigua in the heart of the National Park. The site includes the entrance to the ever popular English Harbour and Nelson’s Dockyard. The surrounding area is a beautiful blend of white sandy beaches, rolling hills, tropical vegetation, marine life, nautical atmosphere, and historical sites.
