Antigua and Barbuda are nicknamed “Land of 365 beaches” due to the beaches that surround the two islands.

*Antigua (map), is perhaps the island which most typifies the modern day view of a small Caribbean destination. Stunning white sand beaches abound, and on Antigua there is no shortage of attendant high-end resorts. *Barbuda (map) still has the beaches but little tourism-based infrastructure.

The islands experience hurricanes and tropical storms (July to October).

V.C. Bird International, located in north eastern Antigua on the outskirts of St John’s, is the country’s main international airport. The airport serves flights from the United States, Canada, Europe and other Caribbean islands.

Tourists mainly get around by taxi or tour operators. However for the tourist on an economy budget the bus service is acceptable, but slow. Unfortunately the nicest spots are only reached by your own transport.

Life is a beach: Antigua is the island of 365 beaches!

Our great journey through the Caribbean is reaching epic proportions! We hop from the Dominican Republic to Puerto Rico, Anguilla, Saint Martin, Saint Barth, Saint Kitts & Nevis and now Antigua. This island is part of the Antigua and Barbuda archipelago and is one of the most beautiful countries in the Caribbean. What a bizarre nature paradise: the green hills that surround hundreds of beaches. We visit the capital St. John’s, Frys Bay, Darkwood Beach, Halfmoon Bay, the English Harbour, Nelson’s Dockyard and much more!
