Entry to the Harbour

Entering English Harbour during daylight is straightforward, although take care of the reef off Charlotte Point on the south side of the entrance. The water remains quite deep just off of Fort Berkely on the port side. A clear navigation channel must be maintained in English Harbour, from Fort Berkeley to the inner harbour. Yachts are requested not to obstruct this passage.

Copper and Lumber Store

Also located in the marina is a historic inn, the elegant and intimate boutique hotel Copper and Lumber Store. Offering 14 suites, each named after one of Lord Nelson's ships or their Commanders, all rooms are furnished with time-period furniture to take guests back in time, creating a romantic and unique setting.
