It's not hard to see why Antigua takes the Number 1 spot when it comes to beach holidays. With 365 stunning, soft white sand beaches to choose from, there's one for every day of the year! Lying 17 degrees north of the equator, Antigua boasts a year-round warm, tropical climate, varying from the mid 70s F in winter to the mid 80s F in summer. Low rainfall makes Antigua one of the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean islands and the near constant north-east trade winds keep the humidity low - perfect for beach lovers. Best resort beaches include Dickenson Bay and Runaway Bay on the northwestern coast, while families may prefer Long Bay on the Easternmost point as it is completely protected by it's reef. Nearer to the capital, St John's are the highly regarded crescent beaches at Hawksbill, one of which is reserved for nudists. Whether you choose to snooze or prefer to get active with some truly amazing watersports, excursions or world-class shopping, Antigua has it all.
