English Harbour/Nelson’s Dockyard
Sunsail’s home on Antigua, Nelson’s Dockyard was Lord Nelson’s base of operations in the Caribbean. Maintained today as a living museum, it offers a fascinating look into maritime life back in the 1700s. It also provides several water-side hotels, restaurants, shops and pubs, making it a great place to spend a day.
