English Harbour is a notable town located on the southeastern coast of Antigua, part of the twin-island nation of Antigua and Barbuda in the Caribbean. It is renowned for its rich maritime history and is famously known as the site of Nelson's Dockyard, a restored British colonial naval station named after Admiral Horatio Nelson who lived in the harbour from 1784 to 1787. Today, Nelson's Dockyard is both a national park and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors from around the world. English Harbour is also a hub for yachting and sailing, particularly during the annual Antigua Sailing Week, one of the premier sailing regattas in the world. The town's natural deep-water harbour is surrounded by hills and offers a picturesque setting with an array of dining and entertainment options. The area is steeped in history with forts, museums, and Georgian architecture, yet it also provides modern amenities and a vibrant nightlife. English Harbour's blend of historical significance, natural beauty, and modern leisure facilities make it a unique and appealing destination for tourists and boating enthusiasts.
