Antigua & Barbuda
Antigua's tourist office boasts that the island has 365 beaches, 'one for each day of the year.' The island is also laden with a colonial atmosphere, from the old stone windmills of long-abandoned sugar plantations to the renovated naval base of Nelson's Dockyard (named after Horatio himself).
On neighboring Barbuda, 25mi (40km) to the north, you can track the island's fabled frigate birds or rub shoulders with the rich and famous at some of the Caribbean's most exclusive resorts. This quiet, single-village island has less than 2% of the nation's population and gets very few independent visitors, mainly ardent bird watchers and a few yachties enjoying its clear waters and tranquil beaches. |
