Family Overview: Antigua

Among the few things that the sister islands Antigua and Barbuda have in common are spectacular beaches. Antiguans boast that their island features 365 beaches—one for each day of the year. Whether or not that's exactly true, Antigua's irregular coastline has carved hundreds of sandy coves. The calmer Caribbean waters are safer and more desirable for families than the Atlantic sea. Stand-outs include Dickenson Bay and the four crescent beaches at Hawksbill—one of which is a nude beach. Further south, more developed stretches include Darkwood or Jolly Beach and for a quiet setting visit Rendezvous Bay. Half Moon Bay, on the southeast, with its mile-long crescent of pink-tinged sand, ranks as one of Antigua's prettiest beaches. Read More
