Dickenson Bay, Antigua

The shimmering white sands and warm azure waters of the Caribbean are what holiday dreams are made of. Spend lazy days in the sun, feast on delicious cuisine or slip on a snorkel and mask to discover a spectacular underwater world of colourful reefs and dazzling marine life. Antigua is a captivating island boasting some of the Caribbean’s most idyllic beaches and year-round sunshine. It’s surrounded by a nearly unbroken offshore reef protecting miles of sugar-white sands and hidden coves and promises a beach for every day of the year as well as a host of activities, from diving and world-class sailing to 4×4 rainforest tours and exploration of quaint colonial towns.

Clear turquoise waters reveal abundant marine life and coral-encrusted shipwrecks whilst Nelson’s Dockyard offers a fascinating glimpse of the island’s colonial heritage. Follow the nature trail from English Harbour through leafy forests up to Shirley Heights for wonderful panoramic views over the harbour.
