More About Antigua

Antigua is a natural choice for beach lovers as it boasts snow-white and pink sandy beaches for every day of the year. However, the beaches are just the beginning...with the sunniest climate in the Eastern Caribbean, the whole family can truly relax in a little piece of paradise or you could engage in a fantastic array of watersports and leisure activities that Antigua has to offer. Antigua is also a true haven for sailing and hosts numerous sailing events throughout the year. Enjoy a trip to Shirley Heights; a former military lookout where you can enjoy panoramic views. It‘s well worth taking a trip to the bustling capital of St John’s where you can sample the superb local cuisine and soak up the local way of life. Another activity worth considering is a cultural walking city tour of Antigua Guatemala where you will learn more about Antigua and visit attractions such as the Cathedral and Royal Palace. With so much on offer, you can do as much or as little as you please but one thing is for certain, you will have a holiday to remember. That is especially true if you choose to visit the island at the end of July and the beginning of August as the carnival is celebrated with a whopping 11 days of festivities. It's a party you'll never forget! When it's time to dine, you'll be spoilt for choice with an abundance of fabulously fresh seafood which has been cooked to perfection. Make sure you try the Antiguan national dish of saltfish and fungi accompanied by one of the high-quality rums on offer too.
