Two very well-known sister islands on the Caribbean are Antigua and Barbuda. Known as the gateway to the Caribbean, Antigua is the largest Caribbean island. A paradise for beach lovers, there are about 365 beaches in Antigua, all of them white and pink sand beaches. The diversity is appetising for the senses, making Antigua a perfect holiday spot.
There are a variety of water sports offered at Antigua including, windsurfing, kite-surfing, sailing, snorkelling, fishing, boating, and kayaking. Every year, there is the Antigua Sailing Week, which is the third largest sailing regatta in the world, to look forward to. There are plenty of barrier reefs as well as wrecks open to exploration. The most well-known is the Andes wreck, which is eighty years old. One can also explore underground caves at the Indian Town; it is rumoured that these caves extend all the way to Guadeloupe.
The beaches are unspoilt, with crystal turqouise water, which fascinates most of the traveller, although it is said that the island is not only for beach lovers. The people of Antigua are known for their friendly manners, which makes everyone feel comfortable; hence, everyone can enjoy to the fullest. It is also equally desirable for couples and independent travellers. The island has been labeled as the best wedding destination for two consecutive years.
All through the year, the exhibitions are another aspect that provide the desirable degree of allure for the visitors. The Jeep safaris count as one of the planned ventures that are present. These safaris take the travellers to those villages, and harbours, which could not be reached otherwise. Sometimes helicopter rides are available as well, the ride being too eventful, as it provides a perfect view of the spectacular lava fields of Montserrat.
With a total population of around seventy thousand, the nationals have a fierce passion for cricket. Antigua also has the Antiguan Recreation Ground that is utilised for test matches, although the list of games is not limited to cricket alone. The island has two golf courses as well. Netball, Football, Volleyball, and Basketball are other seasonal sports that are played at Antigua.
In addition to that, Frigate Bird Nature Reserve along with Nelson Dockyard as well as Walling Forest Nature Trail, and also the Devils Bridge are some other attractions of Antigua. Especially the Devils Bridge that is really exciting. Limestone rocks naturally assemble to construct this bridge, which has a natural blowhole shooting seawater in the air.
Betty Hope Sugar Plantation, which is the colonial capital of St. John, and Fort James is a prime attraction of Antigua in terms of cultural heritage. Then there is Shirley Heights that serves as the perfect landscape for taking long walks. In its offerings, Antigua has been categorised as the best island in terms of celebrity spotting by the Caribbean Travel and Life Magazine.
The countless reviews given of Antigua further solidify its reputation of being the perfect holiday spot, the one that fulfills your needs even before you feel them. - 29868
