St John, Antigua - All Inclusive Once a sugar plantation, 300-acre Long Island is owned by Americans and Britons who maintain multi-million-dollar vacation homes on the island away from Jumby Bay Resort's 85 acres and ensure the island's environment remains unspoiled. Endangered Hawksbill turtles lay eggs on the northern beach, their nocturnal June-November arrivals recorded by researchers and assisted by resort guests. Non-woolly feral sheep descended from ancestors left by the Spanish in the 16th century roam the island. Water birds flock to depressions that become ponds during rare heavy rains. Songbirds, mourning doves, and egrets abound. The Blue Pelican can be spotted. The island is so ideally situated to catch tradewind breezes for a long time the resort offered no air conditioning. No cars other than a small security-staff van are permitted. Guests use bicycles strategically located so they can ride or walk at will without regard for keeping track of "their" bikes. Complimentary golf-cart shuttle service is also available. The resort's main 0.5-mile beach curves along a calm-water bay facing Antigua Island to the west. Thatch-roof shades and thickly cushioned lounge chairs line the beach, ensuring each guest ample room for uncrowded sunbathing and swimming. (Children have their own beach and swing-set south of the resort's dock.) Another 0.5-mile beach lies along the northern shore, providing beachcombing and snorkeling among coral heads. Secluded inland, a 25-meter lap pool furnishes freshwater exercise and tranquil sunbathing.
One of the resort's lodging buildings, called Pond Bay House, includes a three-story tower with
panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea to the west and south, the Atlantic Ocean Location: Jumby Bay is situated on the northeast side of the island, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea and blessed with a gloriously temperate climate.

Jumby Bay, a secluded hideaway accessible only by boat, is known worldwide for providing discerning travelers with world-class service and distinguished amenities
to the north and east, Antigua 2.5 miles away, and all of Long Island. Guests can also ascend a spiral staircase inside a stone tower (once part of the sugar plantation's mill) to reach another lookout.
