Getting ashore
Falmouth Harbour is a large protected bay. Ships berth or anchor on the harbour, and taxis wait at the quay.
Watch-outs
The harbour has two sides, the village on the north and the visitor area on the east. Taxi fares are set by the government, so confirm the rate before you travel.
Falmouth and the harbour
The village has restaurants, shops and a pleasant waterfront. The harbour is a popular stop for yachts, and the marina is a short walk.
Nelson's Dockyard
Nelson’s Dockyard in English Harbour is a short drive away, a restored naval base with the museum and the Admiral’s Inn.
Pigeon Beach
Pigeon Beach is a calm, sheltered beach on the bay, with snorkelling and beach bars. It is a popular afternoon stop.
Galleon Beach
Galleon Beach is a sandy beach with calm water, and it is close to the harbour.
Food & shopping
Antiguan food includes fungi, fish and fresh tropical fruit. Beach restaurants are the easiest choice.
Money & connectivity
The currency is the East Caribbean dollar. US dollars are accepted in many places, and cards are accepted in larger hotels and restaurants.
Accessibility & mobility
The harbour and village are mostly flat. Dockyard paths have steps and uneven stone. Beaches have sand. Ask your operator for accessible vehicles.
