Antigua is a low-lying island between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. At 280 sq km, it’s the largest of the Leeward Islands. Sunseekers often make their way to its white and pink beaches, with locals claiming there are 365 stretches to enjoy on the island - 1 for each day of the year. Standouts include the crescent-shaped Half Moon Bay, Hawksbill, Pigeon Beach, and Long Bay.
Diving and snorkelling are among the most popular things to do in Antigua thanks to the colourful reefs fringing its north, south, and east coasts. You can also join cruises to explore the island’s secluded beaches, capes, and bays. Head inland to find low mountains and tropical rainforests where you can enjoy activities like hiking, biking and ziplining. Most visitors to Antigua arrive at St John’s, a capital city with a scenic waterfront, restored Georgian buildings, and historic landmarks dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries.
