I was truly blessed to be here on a Christian mission ship, serving the community, the place is amazing, the people are fantastic. If you're going out their expecting a 5* experience everywhere then think again, because the Carribbean isn't like that unless you're booking into a flash hotel! The area is what it is, busy, hot, run down in places, the roads need work, it's loud and bustling, and humid and feels like the exhaust fumes kind of stick to you in the heat, but the atmosphere and the people and the place surrounding The quay is Amazing! Definitely worth exploring, there's markets, fruit sellers, fish stalls, loads of shops, just off the quay, a beautiful pottery shop, (which is pricy) and a pancake and ice cream shop! 100% worth visiting the area of you go to St John's, Antigua at any point, just for the experience! I'd do it all again in a heartbeat, especially for the people, and I spent 10 days docked on a ship there! Experience the Carribbean as it really is, not how it's portrayed in the whole resort photos! Real people living humble modest lives, and if you want to explore a bit further, you can find taxis that will spend all day with you for around £60 and drive you about and just stay by your side waiting for you! Plus there is 365 beaches in Antigua, one for every day of the year!

The people their HARASS you to by something from their souvenir shops. I mean every single one. Even had attitude when I didn’t buy something.Little do they know, the ones who don’t say anything is the one I’d probably stop by and check out. So obnoxious.. Then the worst was this man from the island trying to rub aloe on me and my gf by where the ships come in. Thought he was being nice until he demanded $10. I said we don’t have much time here, and I don’t have change. He whistled to someone who was going to give me the change and I was so furious at this point. My gf told him here’s $5 and take your aloe back and we walked away. It was a little scary at 1st since we were new to the island and didn’t know what he was capable of but nothing happened. It ruined our mood. If I visit the beautiful island again, I will NEVER return to this area for shopping. I’ll rather pay a lil more and buy at the hotels gift shop.

Very short walk on a long pier and you are rewarded with being in the thick of St Johns, shops, very colourful, bars and restaurants, and of course tour boats of many sizes. It's really easy to wander ashore and amble through the colourful streets, loads of photos, plenty of seats and incredibly lots of free WiFi. We only wanted a short end of day stroll which we really enjoyed but had we known how close the tour boats are we would have spent the day ashore and hopped on a ferry or tour. They are very similar in price to the ship excursions but you are supporting local operators which might be important to you and there are more variety on offer. Worth checking Google or Trip Advisor for guidance as it's a really interesting island if you the time to plan... You can rent ebikes, snorkeling gear etc ashore if you couldn't bring your own.

Love the ambience and fun to see a mixed of busy tourists and travelers, local people, and street vendors selling their cute t-shirt souvenirs and more. The area is nicely packed with colorful shops and mostly filled with souvenir shops and tours offers, with some food and drinks only some blocks away. We can definitely bargain with the street vendors and again I'm happy because they're not too pushy. The price is so so for t-shirts, especially if you buy many, but it's expensive for small staff like magnets or souvenir plates. Typical tourists favorite. I feel safe enough and people are friendly here.

recently visited this Quay Complex and was thoroughly impressed with its beauty and safety measures. The architectural design is stunning, providing picturesque views of the waterfront and some colourful buildings. The entire complex is well-maintained and clean, with attentive security personnel ensuring a safe environment for visitors. I highly recommend this quay complex for a delightful and secure experience. Closes early by 5pm however, something to take note of.

It's got a nice vibe with good food and drink options. Plenty of taxi drivers available when needed! It also has lots of ramps for easy accessibility. I took off a star for spotty public WiFi and because I got unhelpful service from a waitress who didn't know anything about her bar and didn't give me correct change. But I did get a chair massage from a lovely guy at a kiosk so it sort of evens out! Overall it's a nice place to hang out while you wait for the ferry.
