We went on Sunday March 9th and yes it was very busy. But it was fun chatting with people from other countries and taking in the spectacular views of English harbour. Probably one of the most picturesque places we've ever watched a sunset. The steel drum band playing was great and seeing a reggae band live for the first time was memorable. Certainly a sight to see when in Antigua

If you go to Nelson's Dockyard, you must stop off here first to get great views and photos of the dockyard from a high point. There are some shops up here and a museum worth visiting. The area covered by the heights is quite large, but tour vans will surely take you to the 2 or 3 main areas. The island you will see on he horizon is 'Montserrat.' Because there are 3 sites called ' Shirley Heights' I have put this review and pictures on all of them. Enjoy the heights, then Nelson's Dockyard.

Forget the Sunday and Thursday ritual go during another day of the week and take in the views and history of this historic site. There are always stall holders selling souvenirs, and toilets and a bar/cafe on site.

A breathtaking view from the marina and the wonderful Caribbean Sea. Take some time to stay there only appreciating the movement of the sea and its blue color. After that, enjoy a drink at the bar or just go down with the feeling you are blessed. The experience is incredible!

Sunday night for the sunset and steel band is great. It is busy but we found a spot to perch on the wall with a great view of the sunset and the harbour.
