Antigua

Antigua's tourist office boasts that the island has 365 beaches, one for each day of the year. It has great reefs and wrecks for diving and snorkeling. On neighboring Barbuda you can track the island's fabled frigate birds and visit the Caribbean largest rookery. Barbuda is a quiet, single-village island that gets very few visitors, mainly bird watchers. Antigua is a touch more happening and the pace is slow. Some of the things to check out is exploring colonial era sights, take the scenic route along Fig Tree Drive, and snorkel the coral encrusted wreck of Antigua's first Church, St Paul Anglican Church-one of the island's oldest buildings dating back to 1676.
