Stingray City
A trip to Stingray City is one of the most popular things for wedding guests to do in Antigua. Just a five-minute speedboat ride off the island’s east coast, Stingray City is a shallow pool with a sandy bottom amid a tropical reef, where hundreds of friendly southern stingrays glide through the crystal-clear waters waiting to be fed by you and your wedding guests.
Nelson’s Dockyard National Park
A hot spot for tourists, and packed with multiple attractions, Nelson’s Dockyard National Park is sure to please couples and their wedding parties. This remains the only continuously operating Georgian dockyard in the world and made UNESCO’s World Heritage List in July 2016.
Soak up the ambience by wandering around restored stone warehouses, which contrast strikingly with the glitzy superyachts in the marina. Most of these old buildings are now home to hotels, restaurants, shops, and galleries.
17 Mile Beach Barbuda
Those who lay eyes on Barbuda’s 17 Mile Beach will probably never see a more ravishing stretch of coast. Lapped by pale aqua seas, this stunning stretch of pink-tinged sand separates the Barbuda lagoon from the Caribbean Sea and impresses even the most jaded of beach connoisseurs.
Strolling along these sublime shores is one of the most romantic things you and your partner can do in Barbuda. The sand here is soft as flour, and its remote location means you can walk for miles without seeing another soul.
