Antigua
A beach lover's paradise in the Eastern Caribbean, adorable Antigua is a treasure trove of picturesque coves and palm-fringed bays with an undisputed claim of a beach for every day of the year'. The coral reefs, once the curse of marauding enemy ships, now provide a heavenly home for underwater exploration.
Two main passions rouse strong Antiguan pride; cricket and sailing, with the latter culminating in hosting a yearly sailing regatta. Calm seas and natural harbours once lled with pirates, are now a mecca for mariners. Explore the winding coastline where pirate history allures; with Nelson's Dockyard in the spectacular setting of English Harbour, and 18th century battlements of Shirley Heights and Fort James. Sample the small rainforest, rich in bird and insect life, or St. John's, capital and home to Heritage Quay, with an enchanting museum depicting history of the island, and a vibrant morning market - a feast of food and colour. Barbuda, sister island, just 26 miles north, is famous for its tranquillity and breathtaking pinkish-white sand beaches, easily visited by day. Look no further if idyllic sandy beaches, pure relaxation and unpretentious charm is what you're looking for& Why not link Antigua with contrasting Caribbean islands for a tailormade island-hopping experience. Anguilla, Barbados, St Lucia and the Virgin Islands are quickly and easily reached by air, or experienced sailors could charter a yacht and navigate the dazzling seas to St Kitts or Nevis.
