Imagine
365 beaches on an island whose dimensions span only 14 miles in length and
11 miles in width! It just goes to show you that you would be hard-pressed
to visit Antigua without finding your very own secluded piece of Paradise.
From famous Dickinson Bay, site of Sandals Antigua, to the hundreds of seldom-explored
coves and white sand inlets that run the entire distance of Antigua's winding
coastline, couples can find that perfect beach they have always dreamed about.
So explore pristine hideaways, savor the indescribable turquoise waters, dig
your feet into the silky sand and find that special spot of your very own
in the sun.
Antigua's
Booming Present & Rich Past
Charming
St. John, Antigua's capital city, bustles with a lively spirit that speaks
of its vibrant heritage. From the white towers of St. John's Cathedral, an
impressive baroque structure first built in 1683 and then rebuilt in 1845,
to the English Harbor, site of Admiral Lord Nelson's famed Georgian Dockyard,
every part of the island is steeped in rich British Colonial history. Yet
the vivid colors, sights and sounds of the Farmers Market, held every Friday
and Saturday on the outskirts of town, attest to the reality that Antigua
is also very much a place of thriving, modern Caribbean life. Browse the folk
crafts and sample the brightly hued tropical fruits and you'll begin to get
a taste of Antigua's true flavors.

Once
you've soaked in the sunshine, claimed your own idyllic stretch of shoreline
and sipped, dined and relaxed the day away, perhaps you'll be in the mood
for some sophisticated excitement. If so, then Antigua has the ideal answer
for you. With several elegant casinos offering Las Vegas-style gambling, you
can try your luck at the tables, thrill to the high-stakes action or simply
drink in the alluring atmosphere as you enjoy a delicious cocktail and sway
to the intoxicating rhythms of the sultry evening.
