English Harbour is a natural harbour and settlement on the island of Antigua, in the extreme south of the island.As the name suggests, the English Harbour is a product of Antigua’s colonial past. Rich in history, this beautifully restored area contains most of the island’s top sites, fine dining opportunities and of course Sunday night’s unmissable parties at the Lookout on Shirley Heights. English Harbour is best known for Nelson’s Dockyard, a former British Navy base; it displays restored 18th and 19th-century buildings and other historical artifacts from the colonial period of the dockyard, especially the time it was commanded by Horatio Nelson.
