Settle in for Sunset at Galley Bay Resort

Some may say that atop Shirley Heights is the best place to get your Caribbean sunset fix on Antigua, but Galley Bay Resort and Spa definitely gives it a run for its money.

On a wooden deck jutting out onto the properties pristine westerly facing beach, they've set up a couple dozen brightly colored rocking chairs just for this daily treat. The Sea Grape at Galley Bay restaurant provides the rum cocktails, the lapping waves provide the soundtrack, and mother nature provides the spectacle.

Nearby islands lay backlit in the distance, far away clouds paint streaks across the sky, and the sinking sun's rays burst through the gaps.

Magic.

Linger in the twilight for another round of rum or Wadalis, and maybe quick game of Scrabble before drifting off to dinner.
