Antigua’s Remarkable Natural Bounty
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
Dickenson 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
Harbour, 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.
Bring
on the Nights
Once you’ve soaked in the sunshine, claimed your own idyllic stretch of shoreline and sipped, dined and relaxed 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.

tropical finery and unforgettable scenery that it enters your heart and draws you back time after time. Antigua combines immense
