Land of 365 Beaches
There’s a beach for every day of the year on the Caribbean island of Antigua (An-tee-gah), many of them stunning sugar-white strands protected by coral reefs. Although this former British colony is now an independent nation, it still retains many English traditions. The capital, St. John’s, is dotted with weathered wooden houses with corrugated iron roofs and louvred verandas. Beaches, resorts, and dramatic scenery attract visitors just north of the capital, while the historic harbours of the southern coast bear vestiges of the country’s glory days as a strategic naval port.10
