Snorkelled here with youngsters who were very impressed with the lovely sting rays, parrot fish and big shoals if surgeonfish. Turtles about, waters clear but not much coral to see.

Loved it here lots of history and also lovely to stroll along the front dreaming about owning one of the wonderful boats, there is so much to see and do here, our only downside was the limited time we had here due to being on an island tour, this is definitely a place on the list to re visit

Pigeon Beach English Harbour is one of the most beautiful beaches in Antigua, clear sea, soft sand, play area for kids & facilities. Topped off with the best restaurant in Antigua at one end called Catherine's and a humble relaxed beach bar at the other end called Bumpkin's. Just turn up and enjoy this beautiful location and spend the day blissfully tuned into pure relation????100% recommend!

Turtles, nurse shark, lots of fish and a sunken ship that’s easy to get to and only 15’ deep. Best snorkeling on the island. And highly recommend. I also highly recommend hiking up to see the pillars. One of my favorite parts of the visit. It’s not difficult , but also not easy...but so worth it. Add Mary’s height, and it’s worth a day. We drove (driving in Antigua is a whole ‘mother story!) and parked on the road by the beach. It was a very easy walk. We went on a Thursday just passed high season so there was barely anyone there, but the one bar was also close. Make sure you pack water and snacks just in case! Also, there are no public restrooms
