Antigua And Barbuda Island

The hill and cove-enhanced isle of Antigua claims 365 beaches, one for each day of your vacation provided you are a year-long sabbatical. Capital city of the twin administered Antigua & Barbuda is St Johns. It was a thriving seaport in its 17th century heyday and tall sailing vessels occasionally still grace its sheltered cove of a harbour. The most imposing and historic building in the capital is the Cathedral of St John the Divine.
