A Double Shot of Paradise: Exploring Antigua and Barbuda

12 Shirley Heights Lookout

Enjoy one of the best views of the island on English and Falmouth Harbors at Shirley Heights, a historical and restored military complex at the southernmost tip of Antigua. Locals and travelers alike say the best time to go is at sunset or early evening. Watch closely as the sun sets behind the ocean, and you may catch a rare glimpse of the Green Flash, a green jet of light that covers the horizon. The Lookout is a popular site for weddings, private parties, and international concerts.
