St Mary's

St Mary’s sits on the south west corner of Antigua and is a region of the island that has become increasingly popular with tourists through the years.

Around St Mary’s there are plenty of top class accommodation options that offer the chance to enjoy a luxurious break in the sun - all within relatively easy reach of the capital city St John’s.

Those who visit St Mary’s will be able to visit some of Antigua’s most scenic beaches, with Jolly Beach being one of the most popular.

Here you’ll find plenty of clear white sand that sits alongside the clear blue waters of the Caribbean with the calmer waters here being idea for a refreshing dip.

You can also try out various different watersports, or head for one of the local restaurants to try some traditional local dishes.

Visit the harbour and you’ll find various companies that offer boat trips out to some of the nearby islands.

A short trip from St Mary will take you to Nelson’s Dockyard, which is located in Saint Paul Parish to the south of the island.

The former British naval yard is now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site alongside Shirley Heights, a lookout point above English Harbour, which has been extensively restored and provides some of the best views anywhere on the island.
