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? Then 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.
