There are two sister islands on the Caribbean namely Antigua and Barbuda. It has been a while since Antigua has been holding the title of gateway to the Caribbean, being the largest Caribbean island. The Antigua beaches make it a paradise for those who love the ocean. There are about 365 white as well as pink sand beaches on the Island. The variety is intriguing, increasing the allure of the island.

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.

Other attractions on the island are inclusive of Frigate Bird Nature Reserve along with Nelson Dockyard as well as Walling Forest Nature Trail, and also the Devils Bridge, the last one being verily fun and exciting. The bridge is a natural construction of limestone rocks, with a natural blowhole, which shoots seawater in the air.

As for cultural attractions, there is the Betty Hope Sugar Plantation, which qualifies as the colonial capital of St. John, and Fort James. Then there is Shirley Heights that provides a platform for those who enjoy long walks along the beautiful span of landscapes. Antigua has also been ranked as the best island when it comes to celebrity spotting by the Carribean Travel, and Life magazine. In addition to all that is offered at Antigua, tourists have returned home happy, and content.

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.
