Getting there

Car

If you are driving from any location in Saint Mary, head east towards the main road, Fig Tree Drive. Continue straight until you reach the junction at the roundabout. Take the first exit to merge onto Sir George Walter Highway (A1) heading north. Follow the highway for about 12 kilometers, where you will see signs leading you to various beaches and attractions in Antigua. Keep an eye out for the signposts that indicate the direction to Antigua, which is essentially the entire island.

Public Transportation

To reach Antigua via public transportation, catch a bus from any central location in Saint Mary. Look for buses heading towards St. John's or those labeled with 'Antigua' on them. The fare is usually around 5-10 Eastern Caribbean Dollars (EC$). The bus ride will take approximately 30-45 minutes, depending on traffic. Inform the driver of your destination as they can assist you with the best stop for accessing Antigua.

Taxi

If you prefer a more direct route and convenience, you can hire a taxi. Taxis in Saint Mary are plentiful and can be found at popular tourist spots. Negotiate the fare beforehand; typically, a trip to Antigua can cost between 50-100 EC$. The taxi will take you directly to any desired location on the island.
