Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority unveils UB40 island map following re-
release of Come Back Darling music video
Reggae pop band, UB40 featuring Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey Virtue, has today released a new
music video of Come Back Darling, filmed exclusively on the Caribbean island of Antigua. For those
inspired by the video and wishing to follow in the footsteps of UB40, a UB40 island map has been
developed by the Tourism Authority highlighting all the points on the video.
Famous for hit singles including Red, Red Wine and Can’t Help Falling in Love, the video re-make by
reggae legends UB40 aims to encourage Brits to ‘come back’ to the Caribbean following the hurricanes
of September 2017. Filmed only on Antigua which was unaffected by the hurricanes, it travels from
the panoramic Shirley Heights viewpoint to the beautiful yachts in English Harbour, showcasing the
best the island has to offer visitors.
Starting at Elite Island Resort’s Pineapple Beach Club, the video moves onto the winding Fig Tree Drive
to the capital St. Johns, the coastal roads with some of Antigua’s most picture postcard white sand
beaches and English and Falmouth Harbours holding hundreds of majestic yachts. The video shows
the variety of beaches, hotels, resorts and activities Antigua offers for visitors looking to escape to the
sunshine.

About Antigua and Barbuda:
The largest of the Leeward Islands, Antigua & Barbuda comprises 108-square miles. The 365 white and pink sand
beaches, one for every day of the year, are just the beginning of the treasures that await visitors. Antigua’s rich
history and spectacular topography provide a variety of popular sightseeing opportunities. Nelson’s Dockyard,
the only remaining example of a Georgian fort commissioned by the British in 1755, is perhaps the most
renowned landmark. Betty’s Hope, built in 1674, is the site of one of the first full-scale sugar plantations on
Antigua, and offers a chance to step back into time by visiting the restored mills. Another unique attraction is
Devil’s Bridge, located at the eastern tip of the island in Indian Town National Park, where Atlantic breakers have
carved out a natural limestone arch. Antigua boasts a varied tourism calendar including events such as the World
Class Antigua Sailing Week, Classic Yacht Regatta, Antigua Sports Fishing and also the annual Carnival; known as
the Caribbean’s Greatest Summer Festival. Island accommodation ranges from luxury resorts and all-inclusive
hotels to smaller more intimate boutique guesthouses and cottages. For information about Antigua & Barbuda
