Antigua “the island of 365 beaches” is located in the middle of the Leeward Islands, in the eastern Caribbean.
Antigua is a beach lover’s paradise with more beaches than you can imagine holidays here provide the perfect blend of sand, sun and crystal clear water. Prime beach spots include Dickenson and Runaway beaches, Deep Bay, Hawksbill Beach, Darkwood Beach, Half Moon Bay, Galleon Beach and secluded Pigeon Beach. It just goes to show you that you would be hard-pressed to visit Antigua without finding your very own secluded piece of Paradise.
Antigua is great for watersports there’s a nearly unbroken wall of coral reef that makes for a fantastic scuba diving or snorkeling experience. Other popular watersports are windsurfing, sailing and game fishing.
Holidays to Antigua aren't just about beaches either there are plenty of things to do. Charming St. John, Antigua’s capital city, is a must to visit it has an impressive Anglican Church lively market and plenty of duty free shops. The vivid colours, sights and sounds of the Farmers Market, held every Friday and Saturday on the outskirts of town are a must; experience a place of thriving, modern Caribbean life. Browse the folk crafts and sample the brightly hued tropical fruits and you’ll begin to get a taste of Antigua’s true flavours. English Harbour has the richest collection of historic sites on the island including Nelson's Dockyard; from English Harbour you can find the best nature trail, hike the well-tended footpath up the hill to Shirley Heights, where a dramatic panoramic view will reward you. Shirley Heights is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon for the ultimate live steel and reggae band experience amongst the locals and other visitors. For more panoramic views why not climb Boggy Peak the highest point on Antigua.
Barbuda lies only 30 miles north of Antigua so why not take to the sea and explore Antigua’s little sister for the day.
Holidays in Antigua tend to be nice and slow, and the nightlife is low-key, involving lots of time chilling out listening to live calypso music and steel bands alluring in the atmosphere as you enjoy a delicious cocktail.
A gem of an island, Antigua is a gateway to a fabulous holiday.
