Antigua Sailing Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel
  • Constant trade winds and quintessential Caribbean scenery make for smooth sailing.
  • Anchor at Nelson's Dockyard at English Harbour, a welcoming spot full of restaurants and shops for sailors and visitors.
  • Antigua Sailing Week, an annual regatta of racing and revelry, draws serious yachtsmen and casual sailors each spring.

Antigua Overview

Antiguans boast that they have a different beach for every day of the year. That may be an exaggeration, but the beaches here are certainly spectacular: Most are protected by coral reefs, and the sand is often sugar white.
