Shirley Heights Sunday Party
17° 0.1′ N · 61° 45.3′ W
Every Sunday the restored gun battery above English Harbour becomes Antigua's biggest party: barbecue, rum punch, steel pan as the sun sets over the harbours, then a live band into the night.
Practical
Position is the OpenStreetMap node for The Lookout restaurant and bar. The tourism authority gives the Sunday party as 4 pm to 10 pm; the Lookout's own site lists Sunday hours of 9 am to 9:30 pm, and a Thursday party, 'Reggae Heights', runs 9 am to 8:30 pm. Reviews cite US$10 admission per person, with food (barbecue, jerk chicken, ribs, burgers) and drinks extra; verify locally. The venue is closed on Mondays. Reservations: reservations@shirleyheightslookout.com or +1 268 729 0636. From Freeman's Bay, hike up the Lookout Trail from Galleon Beach before sunset (steep; bring a light) and take a taxi back down after dark.
