Antigua
is the heart and soul of the Caribbean, an exotic tropical island with
an abundance of palm-fringed beaches, warm sparkling sea, English-speaking
and life-loving locals, a wealth of land and water based activities,
a huge choice of delicious international cuisines, and a background
soundtrack of calypso and reggae.
The island is about 14 miles wide by 11 miles long and is renowned for
its 365 stunning beaches, miles of picturesque coves, its legendary
Sailing and Carnival Weeks, a profound love of cricket, cooling trade
winds and ample sunshine.
Antigua is the perfect destination for sun-worshippers, water sports
enthusiasts, golfers, and food-lovers.
Antigua has a rich history and heritage and this is reflected in its
architecture and customs. The restored Nelson's Dockyard at English
Harbour is a prime example of this and sugar mills and plantation houses
dot the island. Inland towards the southwest is an unspoiled rainforest
interspersed with picturesque villages, and the view from Shirley Heights
is one of the Caribbean's greatest.
