Antigua

Antigua and Barbuda's claim to fame is that there are 365 pristine beaches--one for every day of the year--making this a sun-seekers paradise.

As tempting as it is to plop down on a stretch of sand all week, it's worth touring around Antigua to see lively English Harbour and Nelson's Dockyard, hike up to Shirley Heights for breathtaking panoramic views, and experience the vibrant local culture at the bustling St. John's Market.

Go parasailing over Runaway Beach for a birds-eye view, and check out the awe-inspiring Devil’s Bridge where waves have carved the large limestone rock formation into a bridge, creating blowholes that surround its arch and make for a spectacular scene.
