With all the sandy nooks available on Antigua, it's a great place to find a beach to call your own - at least for the day. Here are six sure-fire beaches that won't be overrun by cruise-shippers and t-shirt sellers, and detailed directions on how to find them.Silken sands. Captivating coves. Secluded shores. There are 365
beaches in
Antigua, most located on the island's calm, protected Caribbean side. Tucked along the bays of the island,
Antigua's beaches are some of the most pristine in the Caribbean. Warm, steady trade winds, a complex coastline of safe harbors, and a protective, nearly unbroken wall of
coral reef make
Antigua a delight for sun worshippers and
watersports enthusiasts.
Antigua's weather is ideal with less than 45 inches of rainfall each year, making it the sunniest of the Eastern Caribbean Islands (
Lesser Antilles).
