Said to have 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, we haven't counted them but you'll be spoilt for choice; there's everything from pretty scalloped coves to wondrous deserted stretches, with pounding surf and artful driftwood. Antigua has a maritime heritage going back to Nelson's day and still has some of the best sailing in the Caribbean. Exchange fishy tales in the famed yachties' bars and don't forget the Sunday party at Shirley Heights: the whole island is invited!
Discover the island's colonial history at Nelson's Dockyard and the ruined barracks at Shirley Heights, which offer a breathtaking and much photographed view over English Harbour.
Boggy Peak rewards you with wonderful views, sometimes as far as Guadeloupe and St. Kitts.
Shopping: St John's has excellent shopping, at the renovated Redcliffe Quay and Heritage Quay, including cosmopolitan duty-free shops, local ceramic ware and woodcarvings.
Special: Antigua Sailing Week: 1st week in May.
Carnival Week: end of July/1st week in August. Independence Day: 1st Nov.
