Introduction to Jennings, Antigua and Barbuda
Jennings is one of the main towns of the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, located in the St. Mary's district in the southwestern part of the island. The area is known for its peaceful rural atmosphere and traditional community culture, making it an ideal place to experience authentic local life.
Location and Climate
Jennings is situated in the hilly interior of Antigua, approximately 10 kilometers from the capital city of St. John's. The climate is tropical and maritime. The tropical maritime climate is warm and humid throughout the year, with the dry season (December to April) being particularly favorable. The surrounding area is dotted with mango orchards and farmland, preserving the typical Caribbean rural landscape.
Cultural and Living Characteristics
As a historic settlement in Antigua, Jennings is known for its Creole cultural traditions. An active weekly open-air market offers fresh tropical fruits, cassava bread and other local delicacies. Each year during Carnival, residents hold a small musical parade showcasing the island's unique steel drumming and calypso dancing.
Tourism and Transportation Information
Jennings is not a popular tourist area, but is easily accessible by rental car or local bus. There are hiking trails leading to the lush greenery of the Shaker Hills and views of the neighboring volcano of Montserrat. We recommend combining a half-day visit with a trip to downtown St. John's to get a taste of Antigua's rustic charm.
