Temperatures, of course, can be high during the day (80’s and 90’s F) and mildly chilly in the evenings.
Bring sunscreen and a wide-brimmed or long-billed hat, as well as a light jacket or shawl. |
|
Light-weight, cool, comfortable and popular...ladies may wish to bring a sarong
(many men find them appropriate, as well) |
|
The sand on the beaches can be hot, and the rocks are hard. Bring comfortable, secure water shoes
(Teva type sandals are ideal) |
|
Mosquitoes can be irritating during picnics. Bring a suitable bug repellant. (Avon’s “Skin So Soft” is effective and nice smelling) |
|
Binoculars for outings, or on the deck, are nice to have. |
|
If you have them, bring your own mask, snorkel and fins.
(Save on renting them here) |
|
Beachcombing and shopping go without saying.
Bring a light back pack or “fanny” pack. |
|
Film is pricier here than at home. Bring plenty for your photography needs. |
|
There are many trails through interesting areas (e.g. old British ruins) and over scenic hills. Bring some comfortable, sturdy, lightweight walking shoes or boots. |
|
Our cottages have CD/cassette players. Bring your favorite music. |
|
The beaches are long and wide. We think a Frisbee is essential. |
|
The local Eastern Caribbean currency (EC) exchanges at the banks for $2.67 EC to $1.00 US.
All Antiguan merchants, of course, accept US dollars and other currencies, but will give you a lesser exchange rate. We suggest converting your dollars to EC as soon as is practical for you. |
|
In order to rent a car here, you must possess your own valid driver’s license and purchase a temporary (good for three months) Antiguan license for $20 US. While driving, be aware at all times that driving is done on the left-hand side of the roads , though many Antiguans often take their half of the road in the middle. |
