The Property — Lighthouse Bay Resort

Lighthouse Bay Resort is a straightforward three-star property on a quiet stretch of Codrington's coast, with sea-facing rooms that are clean and functional rather than flashy. Its main draw is the private beach and a small pool, plus a restaurant that does decent grilled fish. The lobby feels like a modest Caribbean inn — tile floors, local art, a friendly receptionist — and it suits budget-conscious couples or solo travellers who want a base for exploring the island's wilder eastern end, not a resort bubble.

Codrington 연대기

Codrington was founded in the late 1600s as a sugar plantation estate owned by the Codrington family, who also established the nearby Codrington Lagoon as a salt-harvesting operation. The village grew slowly as a fishing and farming community, with traditional stone-and-wood houses lining narrow lanes. Today it retains a sleepy, local atmosphere, with the lagoon becoming a major bird sanctuary for frigatebirds. Its modern identity is defined by eco-tourism: visitors come for the wildlife, kiteboarding on the windward coast, and the slow pace of Antiguan life, far from the cruise-ship bustle of St John's.

Best Time to Visit

Codrington 완전 가이드 →

Best months

February-April: driest months with reliable sunshine, calm seas, and fewer crowds than the Christmas-New Year peak. Temperatures sit around 27-29°C with low humidity.

Peak / festival surge

Late December to mid-January (Christmas and Carnival). Hotels book out months ahead; room rates at Lighthouse Bay can double. Antigua's Carnival (July/August) is another spike, but Codrington stays quieter than St John's.

Budget shoulder season

May and November are ideal budget months: room discounts of 30-40%, still warm (28-30°C), with May seeing brief afternoon showers and November having less risk of tropical systems.

Weather & packing

Antigua lies in the Atlantic hurricane belt, so July sits in the early part of the wet season with afternoon squalls and high humidity. Pack a lightweight rain shell and quick-dry sandals — an umbrella is less useful here than a waterproof bag for electronics.

Live City Briefing — Codrington

  • The new Codrington Lagoon boardwalk and viewing platform opened in late 2025, offering better access to the frigatebird colony; entry fees are now $5 USD for non-residents.
  • Repairs to the main road leading into Codrington (the highway from St John's) continue through summer 2026, expect occasional 15-minute delays and potholes — rent a 4x4 if you're exploring.
  • The annual Codrington Fish Festival was moved to 26-27 July 2026, overlapping your stay — expect local food stalls, live music, and a surge in day-trippers on that weekend.
