Antigua is one of the 2 main islands that make up the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda. The island is surrounded by coral reefs and is known for its numerous sandy beaches. Along the English Harbor, is Nelson’s Dockyard, which was the base of Admiral Horatio Nelson in the 1780s and includes a marina and the Dockyard Museum. There are trails that ascend to Shirley Heights, an old military observation post with a panoramic view.

And it’s not hard to find one, two or even ten that are your favorites. Antigua has some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean.
