EXPLORE

Archaeological Site: On the northeastern corner of Jumby Bay Island lies an archaeological site of floor flints dating back 7000 years.

Bat Cave: Located on the north side of English Harbor, Bat Cave is home to hundreds of bats hanging upside down from the ceiling. Local legend says that the cavern actually goes under the sea as far as Guadeloupe. You will need permission from the Medical School to visit Bat Cave.

Casino Night in Antigua: Join in the fun at casino night in St. John's. Located on English Harbor near the shopping village.
English Harbor: Once used as a base for the British Nave, English Harbor is home to Antigua's historic district. Features on the Harbor include Nelson's Dockyard National Park and many shops and restaurants.

Great Bird Island: A bird watcher's fantasy. Boat over to this tiny uninhabited islet and see the nesting grounds of the red-billed tropic bird. From April to September the laughing gulls, purple martins, terns, and brown noodles grace the island.
Green Castle Hill: Starting at the brick factory, climb this one-hour, not-so-easy trek to Green Castle Hill to see the most spectacular three-way view of Antigua. Rock formations rise up to 180 meters and are thought to be prehistoric megaliths.
Hiking: There are numerous hiking trails throughout Antigua. The following are just a few: Wailing's Woodland; Old Road; Falmouth; and Rendezvous Bay. Jumby Bay has over 4 miles of hiking and walking trails.

Museum of Antigua & Barbuda: Housed in the colonial Court House, the Museum features displays on both the Arawak and colonial artifacts discovered through archaeological digs on both islands.

Nelson's Dockyard National Park: Just 11 miles outside of St. John's lies one of the biggest attractions in the eastern Caribbean, Nelson's Dockyard National Park. This beautifully restored Georgian naval dockyard was home to the British Fleet during the Napoleonic Wars.

Pasture Bay, Jumby Bay Island: From May to December, experience the rare sightings of the hawksbill sea turtle during their nesting season.

Shirley's Heights: East of English Harbor lies Shirley's Heights, named after the former Governor of the Leeward Islands in 1781, where a partially restored fortification of the island's observation post still remains. Enjoy breathtaking views or stroll the grounds to see the Palladian arches, barracks and Victorian garden.

Shopping: Visit the colorful shops and local vendors in St. John's. Browse for some of Antigua's wonderful native products such as pottery, carvings or Antigua's rum. Visit Duty-free Heritage Quay or Redcliffe Quay for clothing, jewelry, local arts and crafts, Cuban cigars, and other luxury items.

GETTING THERE

Off the coast of Antigua, Jumby Bay is a private island.

Jumby Bay provides transfers between the mainland airport and the resort. Upon arrival, a chauffeured private town car conveys guests on a 3-minute drive to the resort's dock where they receive a warm Jumby Bay welcome from a resort representative. From this point guests needn't lift a finger - their baggage will be waiting for them in their guest room, suite, villa or estate home. With cool scented towels proffered by staff, guests can take a moment to refresh themselves after their journey and begin to unwind. Two experienced crew members will assist guests onto the resort's private catamaran for a 7-minute ride over to Jumby Bay through clear Caribbean waters.
