Antigua Beaches.Antigua is said to have 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. All are open to the public, and so the challenge posed to a visitor is not how to gain access to the best of them but simply how to locate the beach that suits one's taste. Exploring on your own is the best way to do this, although it is wise to bring a companion along to particularly isolated locations. Locals are understandably reluctant to divulge their own favourites, so here are a number of good starters.…

It was such a great trip to tour the waters of the Caribbean. The islands are so magnificent and breathtaking. Everyone of them is unique and you can actually find everything you like from beaches to volcanoes, rainforest, animals, nice little restaurants... I enjoyed it very much to do that by cruise ship which is the most convenient way of travelling and being able to get to different spots in that area quick and easily. Looking forward to go there again! Patrick

Antigua - the Caribbean Paradise Island. Hot tropical weather but with a fresh ocean breeze all year around. I spent 2 weeks in Antigua and because it is such a small Island I had a chance to explore it whole along and across and to even look into the smallest holes and caves to check what mysteries they hide.

The next port of call on this cruise was the island of Antigua in the capital city of St. John. Antigua, along with the nearby island of Barbuda, make up the independent country of Antigua and Barbuda. Today, we were lucky enough to have a bit of a sleep in as our excursion for the day didn't start until 9am. Initally, our plan was to do the Black Swan Pirate Ship excursion which consisted of a cruise around the harbor in Saint John, a mock pirate ship battle, as well as unlimited drinks at t…

Quick Antigua recap: Antigua wasn't bad at all --  in fact, it spectacular -- once we got away from the Hawksbill Resort.  Went diving with Indigo Divers, a good operation, although the diving wasn't that great. It was a friendly husband and wife team, and we really enjoyed the boat ride. We rented a Jeep Wrangler and explored the island on our own - this is definitely the way to go! I loved Nelson's Dockyard, but the highlight for me was Half Moon Bay - rugged, deserted, gorgeous.…

My mom and I went on an amazing cruise to the Caribbean for 7 days. St. Maarten was by far my favorite island, it was clean and the people were so friendly. The shopping was AMAZING on the French side of the island. Antigua had the most beautiful beaches and St. Lucia has banana ketchup which is actually really good on French fries!

off to antigua for a couple days on vacation! this is the place where beaches,drinks and relaxation all come together perfectly!

8 days on a Caribbean Cruise...enjoy the photos!
