| Antigua - An Introduction |
|
|
 Antigua is affectionately known as the heart of the Caribbean. It has been, and still continues to be, at the centre of things in the Lesser Antilles whether it be sport, politics or in people's general perceptions of the Caribbean. Antigua has been an important player in the events in the region over the last 350 years and still continues to be active in important regional debates. Today Antigua is a popular destination for visitors with its 365 beaches, its rich history, its continued importance in the sailing world with the international Antigua Sailing Week, the historic National Park at English Harbour with the beautifully restored Nelson's Dockyard. There's plenty of watersports to enjoy by day including, diving, snorkelling, sailing & cruising, windsurfing, deep-sea sportfishing and water-skiing and when the sun goes down the curtain opens on Antigua's nightlife. The island has many restaurants ranging from fast food outlets to haute cuisine. There's Duty Free shopping in downtown St. John's with many of the leading brand names in clothing, perfumes and watches plus the chance to pick up unique local crafts, handiwork and t-shirts. So you'll find a little bit of everything in Antigua and the atmosphere very Caribbean. Makes for a good holiday whether you wish to relax on the beach, indulge in watersports, go to good restaurants or do some shopping. |
