The tourist board likes to point out that Antigua has 365 beaches, ‘one for every day of the year’ – and one of them, they say, is the only beach at which Queen Elizabeth ever went into the sea. Whether or not the exact number is correct, it’s certainly true that you’ll be in absolute bliss on the sunbathing front.
Antigua’s beaches are the stuff desert island dreams are made of – all
gleaming white sand, swaying palm trees and sparkling seas in several
shades of blue. And because there are so many of them, finding a
secluded stretch is never much of a problem. The north-western corner of
the island is where most resorts and hotels are, stretching between
Dickenson Bay and Four Islands Harbour.
The south coast, especially round Falmouth and English Harbour, is
where the yachting fraternity hang out. Resorts elsewhere on the island
tend to be more secluded. Most hotels offer a good range of water
sports, including snorkelling, scuba diving, windsurfing, water-skiing
and sailboating.
Antigua & Barbuda is also famous for its sailing – it holds a big
regatta every spring and smaller ones throughout the year. You can
charter yachts for days at a time to tour some of the neighbouring
islands, or hire a boat for a day’s deep sea fishing.
As well as being ideally suited as a tropical playground, Antigua is
also one of the more historically interesting of the Caribbean islands.
In the 18th century, the island was an important naval base for the
British, harbouring the fleet that helped defend British interests in
the Caribbean.
Following the volcanic eruptions on the nearby island of Montserrat in
the late 1990s, much of the population was evacuated, and many are now
resident in Antigua.
