Located on the southwestern coast of the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, Port Pleasant is an important cruise ship port of call and tourist destination for the country. Surrounded by clear blue-green waters and white sandy beaches, the harbor is known for its excellent resort facilities and water activities.
Nestled in a deep-sea harbor on the southwest side of the island of Antigua, Pleasant Harbor enjoys a tropical maritime climate with an average year-round temperature of approximately 27°C. The dry season (December-April) is sunny and dry and is the peak season for tourism, while the rainy season (July-November) is occasionally characterized by brief periods of rainfall that are still suitable for sightseeing.
The harbor area is home to duty-free shopping malls, restaurants and bars where visitors can experience diving, sailing and beach relaxation. Nearby attractions include Nelson's Dockyard, a historic British naval base, and Mount Shirley with its panoramic views.
Pleasant Harbour hosts international cruise ships through St. John's Deepwater Harbour, approximately 20 minutes from the capital city of St. John's. It is also easily accessible by car or boat from Antigua's VC Bird International Airport.
