When
British Admiral Horatio Nelson searched the Caribbean high and low
for the perfect place to hide his fleet, he found all the critical
elements neatly combined in Antigua. The largest of the British
Leeward Islands has warm, steady winds, a complex coastline of
safe harbors, and a protective, nearly unbroken wall of coral
reef. Little did the legendary Nelson know that over 300 years
later those same special characteristics would transform
Antigua into one of the Caribbean's premier tourist destinations
along with its great hotels and resorts. The trade winds
that once blew British a man-of-war safely into English Harbour now
fuel one of the world's foremost maritime events, Sailing Week. |
The
expansive, winding coastline that made Antigua difficult for
marauders to navigate is where today's trekkers encounter a
tremendous wealth of secluded, powdery soft beaches. The coral
reefs, once the bane of enemy ships, are now a boon to scuba divers
and snorkelers.

| Its
little sister island of Barbuda - once a scavenger's paradise
because so many ships wrecked on its reefs - is now home to one of
the region's most significant bird sanctuaries. Most natives live in the capital of St John's, a bustling port city and
cruise ship destination, while the rest of the island is sparsely populated and
perfect for mind-clearing ambles. Locals boast that they have 365 beaches, one
for every day of the year. This claim may take some creative license but,
whatever the actual number, the beauty of the beaches needs no exaggeration! |
