Feature Island


Regional Information

The warm Caribbean breezes and perfect powdery beaches of Antigua are a part of the small nation's allure, but this former British colonial outpost also provides a unique look into the region's historic past. Since its quite accidental discovery by Christopher Columbus in 1493, the small island country has long attracted overseas interest with its beauty, charm and abundant flora and fauna. The island today is a mecca for coral-reef divers, sun worshipers and those intrigued by the country's colonial architecture and colorful native culture.
