Falmouth Harbour Holidays

The horseshoe-shaped, natural harbour known as Falmouth Harbour is located on the furthest southern point of Antigua Island, and has slowly become one of the more popular tourist destinations on the island.

While the raw, and powerful natural beauty of Falmouth Harbour is a draw itself, the harbour is also located close to the eastern end of the Shekerley Mountains, which are a range of hills that roll from the harbour to Antigua Island's southern coast. This mountain range adds a lovely touch of hiking and trailblazing to any trip to the harbour. There is also the easternmost peaks of Monk's Hill located to the north of Falmouth, adding a little more variety to the hiking, and adventure that can be had in the area.

Of course, when visiting Falmouth Harbour, one of the most popular destinations are the soft, sandy beaches and warm, blue water. The beaches here are perfect for spreading out a beach blanket and grabbing a little bit of much needed rest and relaxation while soaking in the sun.

Falmouth Harbour is also home to some of the most outstanding watersports on Antigua Island, such as scuba diving, snorkelling and boating. In fact, there are a lot of on-water activities in the area that get rave reviews from those who visit. Some of these on-water adventures the area boast are yacht sailing lessons and ocean racing tours around the island. So, if sailing around the calm, crisp and clear water with the wind whipping through your hair sounds like the ideal way to spend an afternoon, there is no doubt that Falmouth Harbour is the beach vacation destination you are looking for.
