Fort St James, Dickenson beaches and the North Coast.

The north coast of Antigua is not devoid of interest, even though for those based in Falmouth it is quite a long way away, involving 60 ks plus rides.

Fort St James is well worth a vist (as well as Russell's restaurant here). Riding from here towards Dickenson’s beach takes you along a narrow sand spit separating the murky lagoon from the sea, a pleasant seaside ride on a small road with little traffic.

Beyond Dickenson's bay you can cycle around the north coast, through upper end (in the social sense) residential areas. It is not greatly exciting, but a pleasant ride in gentrified neighbourhoods. Signs of the economic downturns can be seen all over, with a high proportion of villas shut down, neglected or seemingly abandoned.

Going round the North Coast you will end up by the airport; going round the runway on the north eastern side will eventually bring you back on the Parham road, from where you can return to Falmouth via Willoughby or All Saints.
