Shopping and Essentials: The supermarkets do not provide plastic bags, so bring your own tote bags or you will have to purchase one in store. Also, alcohol sales are prohibited on Easter Sunday, so plan accordingly. Beach Etiquette and Rentals: Amenities like sunbeds and beach umbrellas generally come with a rental fee. Typically, sunbeds cost around US$20 per day, and umbrellas US$10 per day, a small price to pay for a day of relaxation on one of the world’s most beautiful coastlines. But be prepared and make sure you bring cash. Electrical Outlets: The electrical voltage in Antigua & Barbuda is usually 220V, so check the voltage requirements for your electronic devices and bring a transformer (not just an adapter) for any sensitive electronics. Wildlife and Nature: Mosquitoes and red fire ants are common, so it’s wise to protect yourself, particularly at dawn and dusk, by wearing long sleeves and using insect repellent. If you’re allergic to insect bites, packing antihistamines is a good precaution. Island Time: Finally, embrace the relaxed pace of island life. Things might move a little slower than you’re used to, but that’s part of the charm. Whether it’s waiting a few extra minutes for a meal or taking your time to explore a secluded beach, let the island’s rhythm guide you, and you’ll find yourself unwinding in no time.
