Destination Profile
Lay the towel, squirt the sunscreen, and prepare to soak up the rays. That's usually the order of the day on Antigua, an island so blessed with beaches that you could never visit the same one twice in a fortnight – palm-topped Dickenson Bay and the azure waters of Pigeon Beach can get things rolling. Behind the coast lurk rum shacks and jerk stalls and curious colonial-era relics, while miniature Barbuda beckons with secluded stretches of shoreline – the perfect setting for that book, that hammock, and a little me time. Cheap flights to Antigua and Barbuda from USA usually involve a stopover, and the lowest-cost tickets often pop up outside of the peak season that runs from December to February.
UNESCO have tagged the Nelson's Dockyard for its rich layers of colonial history and abundance of military relics.
English Harbour is a yachting and history haven, touting a base once used by Admiral Nelson and plenty of little inlets to explore by boat.
Award-winning Ffryes Beach shimmers brilliant white and offers Caribbean waters of azure blue. It's gorgeous!
