Antigua is the archetypal Caribbean island - sun-drenched, fringed with dazzling white sand and set by a warm jade and aquamarine sea. There are some stunning hotels, a burgeoning selection of luxury villas, and the island has a long tradition of sailing, both in historic association with Britain (Horatio Nelson was stationed here) and sailing in its modern form, as the venue for the Caribbean’s major regatta and winter home to a number of mega yachts. However, it is for the easy life and friendly islanders - and the wide variety of beaches - that most people visit. A different beach for every day of the year There are believed to be 365 beaches across Antigua ad Barbuda, one for each day of the year. The great majority rest inside the calm, protected waters of the Caribbean Sea, whilst others are positioned on the tempestuous Atlantic Ocean.
