Vibrant Nightlife

Nights in Antigua are filled with traditional Caribbean touches, such as rum cocktails and reggae music provided by local DJs. Many of the bars on the island also serve as restaurants throughout the day, so you may start with dinner and then move toward the bar. There are also many places tucked along the coast, making it easy to get from the beach to the bar on your Caribbean vacation. The atmospheres at beach bars and bar-restaurant combos are frequently laid-back, but there are dance clubs as well, so enjoying vibrant nights out on any affordable holiday to Antigua will be easy.

There are fun nights out to be had in the more developed areas and around English Harbour, where tourists and locals looking for a good time tend to congregate. Every Sunday, Shirley Heights is the epicenter of Antigua nightlife. The lookout here hosts an evening party with an enthusiastic crowd and plenty of Caribbean-influenced music. It's one of the most famous events on the island and something you should definitely see at least once.
