Antigua
Hiking
There are many signed hiking trails across the island. A particularly good concentration is located in the Falmouth and English Harbour region, allowing one to explore the Shirley Heights area. One can walk all the way from the shore near the Pillars of Hercules up to The Lookout, a great place to watch the sunset. Or, put gravity in your favor and hike from The Lookout down to the Pillars of Hercules.
