Antigua

With around 365 beaches (one for every day of the year) Antigua is pure beach-bum heaven! So slip on your shades, smooth on the sunscreen and get down to some serious toasting!

Need a break from the sun-worshipping? Soak up some history at English Harbour where Nelson once commanded the British fleet. Talk cricket with the locals in a beachside bar, go souvenir shopping in St John’s or slap on a mask and snorkel and size-up the fish.
