Antigua - The Beach is just the Beginning!
|
|
The beach is just the beginning for this week’s destination – thought it has 365 beautiful sandy beaches, one for every day of the year! Antigua and Barbuda are almost completely surrounded by well-preserved coral reefs, walls, and shipwrecks – so the snorkeling, scuba and sailing are fabulous.
St. John’s, the largest city on Antigua, is nestled in a cove and is dominated by a lovely cathedral dating from 1845. English Harbour, Antigua's evocative historic district, is where you will discover Antigua’s rich past. Nelson's Dockyard National Park is the former shipyard (dating from the 18th century) that was shut down in 1889. Explore the breathtaking views from Shirley Heights - with a spectacular panorama over the port area that reaches as far as Guadeloupe. Enjoy fabulous duty free shopping in Antigua - and south of the city the local market is held on Friday and Saturday mornings - a perfect place to meet the local people.
Nature lovers can enjoy eco tours - and you can take to the water by sailboat or power catamaran to explore the offshore islands and picnic on deserted beaches. The island of Barbuda is home to the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, one of the Caribbean’s most important bird sanctuaries with some 170 species.
The romantic and relaxed atmosphere, sheltered coves and secluded bays -coupled with a delightful climate and warm hospitable people - make Antigua perfect for weddings and honeymoons.
