With 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, Antigua has some of the most amazing coat lines in the Caribbean. The island is almost totally surrounded by corral reef, swimming in crystal clear waters of the reef is truly thrilling the vibrant colours of the fish and corral make for a unforgettable experience. The beaches are beautiful and as the reef takes most of the energy out of the sea the water is nice and tranquil perfect for swimming and playing in. Inland the land scape is quite flat and ideal for walks, golf and the local favourite Cricket. Places of interest include the capital city St. Johns, where there is great shopping to be done in the markets. The Historic English Harbour is where Nelson’s Dockyard is located and has been here since he made the harbour the home to the British Fleet. Sailing is perhaps what Antigua is most famous for and Antigua sailing week is one of the top events in the world.
