Antigua
a beach for every day of the year
Antigua’s shoreline is washed almost exclusively by the Caribbean Sea and is hugged by 95 miles of superb coastline, whilst her sister – Barbuda – is surrounded by protective reefs and features a large lagoon and Frigate Bird sanctuary. The islands are best known for their friendly and welcoming people, pink and white-sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and the most satisfying and enjoyable climate in the world.
Whilst it’s not all about relaxation here, Antigua boasts 365 beaches (yes, one for every day of the year!), all of which are open to the public, too. If you’d prefer to explore, Nelson’s Dockyard is a highlight – restored to their original splendour, the 18th & 19th century buildings now house modern amenities such as shops & hotels. Alternately, visit the ‘sailing capital of the Caribbean’; lying on the southern tip of the island, the town of English Harbour makes a beautiful base to explore, boasting a range of chic beach hotels. From rainforest canopy walks to Stingray City, hiking & snorkelling galore, our travel experts are here to help plan your next adventure to the island of Antigua.
