The national parks of Antigua and Barbuda protect many of the twin-island nation’s most important historic and natural landscapes. The best known is Nelson's Dockyard National Park on the southern coast of Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site centered around an 18th-century British naval dockyard once used by Horatio Nelson. The park preserves historic naval buildings, scenic harbors, and surrounding hills while offering hiking trails and viewpoints over English Harbour. Other protected areas across Antigua and Barbuda safeguard coastal ecosystems, beaches, and cultural landmarks that reflect the islands’ colonial history and rich Caribbean environment, providing visitors with opportunities to explore both heritage sites and natural scenery.
