What could be better for a relaxing holiday than an island that boasts a beach for every day of the year? Well that is what you can expect too if you join the thousands of people that love Antigua holidays each year. Here are some of our favourites.
Just for the fantastic name Jabberwock Beach has to feature on the list, but that is not all you get with a mile of glorious white sand and the gently lapping Caribbean Sea. Whilst chilling out on Turners Beach you can take in the landscapes of the island of Montserrat and top up your tan or if snorkelling is your thing, then you might like to take to Darkwood beach where the sea life is more than happy to welcome you on your Caribbean holidays.
For those of you who like to get out of the sun, the shade of the palm trees on Half Moon Beach might be just the ticket, but get there early and remember that the shade disappears everywhere at midday. Finally, Hawksbill Beach is a haven for sunbathers who like to avoid white tan lines of any sort. This is the only beach from our selection that caters to naturists, so be sure you are on the correct one before stripping off.
Away from the beaches, harking back to the days when the British Navy ruled the waves is the fully restored Nelson’s Dockyard, which recreates how the harbour looked over 200 years ago. Nelson’s Dockyard is located in the English Harbour area of Antigua along with other historical sites, including 18thcentury Clarence House, which was built for royal guests. This area of the island is also home to the best nightlife for holidays in the area.
Whatever you expect from an island break, be sure to take advantage of some of the great late holiday deals available and see what Antigua has to offer.
