Antigua

Antigua has it all: historic landmarks, delicious cuisine, and a vibrant cultural environment. The beauty and diversity of the island's 365 beaches, however, lure visitors from all over the world. Do you enjoy having a sand party? Are you seeking a place where your kids may play in safe, shallow water? Would you like to dive into the depths of the ocean? With one beach for every day of the year, this paradise in the Leeward Islands has you covered.

Save your sun and beach vacations for Antigua's must-see attractions; its tranquil sister island, Barbuda, is more easygoing and less crowded. If you do go to Antigua's attractions, you'll see that the panoramic view from Shirley Heights and the interesting history of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine is mostly neglected by the sunbathers who have set up camp along the shoreline. That will only add to the pleasure of your sightseeing excursions, as you'll have fewer people to contend with while you discover some of the island's hidden beauty.
