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.

Falmouth Harbour in the morning
A simple pan of the vista from atop Monk's Hill. It's a good hike, not for the faint-of-heart, but the reward is worth it. Thanks to friends for the invitation to attend the early morning hike. Spring of 2018, In Antigua, West Indies.

ANTIGUA ~ Shirley Heights ~ Sunset Party ~ Best UAV Drone Caribbean Aerials ~ WeBeYachting.com
Shirley Heights Sunday Hill top party. The best known and longest running event now in its 31st year. Ask any of our bartenders, whether the party happens every Sunday, and the reply will be, Yes...like church!” From 4.00pm the sweet pulsating rhythms of the steel band accompany mouth-watering smells of the barbecue. Spectacular sunsets are standard party fare and the much talked about green flash really can be seen! At 7.00pm the entertainment changes and some of the island's finest party bands are featured until 10.00pm. Located at the most southerly tip of Antigua, The Lookout, part of the Shirley Heights military complex, commands a breathtaking view over the whole of English Harbour. Behind the catchment on the highest ground, 490ft (150m) above sea level, was the Signal Station from which a system of flags was used by day and guns by night to convey messages to St, John's by way of Great Fort George on Monk's Hill. The Shirley Heights military complex also included a guard house, magazine and kitchen, officers' quarters, adjoining parade grounds, a 40-bed hospital, canteen, and a cemetery. An obelisk in the cemetery commemorates the officers and men of the 54th Regiment (2nd Battalion Dorsets) who died in service in the West Indies between 1840 and 1851.
This video was shot within regulation of Antigua & Barbuda recreational use drone flying rules by responsible flying procedures with regards to locations and flight hight limits.
