Antigua Holidays
Antigua is 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 of Antigua is invited!
