Antigua with 365 beaches

Antigua, the island for a fantastic Caribbean holiday, is located in the heart of the Caribbean at the centre of the Leeward Islands. Antigua boasts that it has 365 beaches – one for each day of the year. I have tried to count them on my many visits to this fabulous island, but without success so now I reckon that it is impossible to confirm that there are 365 beaches on the beautiful island with a total land area of just 108 square miles, but there is no doubt whatsoever that Antigua has a multitude of absolutely superb beaches around the island. There are so many terrific white sand beaches that naming the best comes down to personal choice, but for me I have to mention Darkwood Beach, Dickinson Bay, Half Moon Bay, Galley Bay, Rendezvous Bay, and the beach at Great Bird Island as being some of my favourites.

For a Caribbean holiday I rate Dickinson Bay highly as a superb location for visitors to Antigua to enjoy their Caribbean holiday. Dickinson Bay, within a few minutes drive from the excellent shopping facilities and restaurants in St John's, is serviced by a number of excellent hotels and resorts including Antigua Village, a beachfront complex of studios, apartments, and villas, Halcyon Cove by Rex Resorts, a super hotel with 210 rooms on the beach with fabulous facilities, Siboney Beach Resort, a exclusive complex with an award winning restaurant and 12 suites, and Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa, a world renowned all-inclusive hotel with the title of “World’s Most Romantic Resort”. Galley Bay Resort is an exclusive hideaway with Polynesian style cottages set in 40 acres of tropical gardens – Galley Bay was owned years ago by Edie Albrecht, an ex Ziegfield Follies girl, an unforgettable character and a legend in the Caribbean.

Hotels in Antigua can be booked through Just Caribbean and a Caribbean holiday package including flights, car hire, and a choice of accommodation between a Caribbean villa and a beachfront hotel can be arranged by Just Travel Services.
