SUNSET HAPPY HOUR–PERFECTLY CARIBBEAN
Thursday 26th February 2015

Sunsets over the Caribbean Sea can be awe inspiring and create the perfect end to a relaxing day. Then when you add the charm of a rum punch, mojito or other creative concoction, in a setting where the staff is attentive to your needs and the conversation is sparkling, you have a Caribbean moment to remember.

The best sunset watching is, naturally, on the western coast of Antigua where the sun dips into the sea with Nevis or Montserrat in the foreground.  There are a wealth of beachfront or hillside vantage points offering special Happy Hours – or in one case, a proper Afternoon Tea – with the fiery sky as the backdrop.

Check our recommendations here of some of the best restaurants and bars from which to enjoy a Sunset Moment, and then get out there and enjoy!
