Antigua:

Antigua offers 365 beaches, one for each day of the year. The great majority rest inside the calm, protected waters of the island's Caribbean side. All are open to the public and so the challenge posed for a visitor is not to gain access to the best of them but simply how to locate the beach that suits one's taste. Exploring on your own is the best way to do this, although is wise to bring a companion along to particularly isolated locations. Antiguans are understandably reluctant to divulge their own favorites, so here are a few for you: Northwest Coast - Ft. James, Deep Bay and Galley Bay; Southwest and South Coast: Fryes Bay, Darkwood Beach and the beaches around Johnson's Point; East Coast: Half Moon Bay and Long Bay. The average temperature range for Antigua is 73°F in winter and 85°F in summer.  More Information >>>

Bahamas:
The capital city of Nassau hums with activity centered around a variety of important historical sites. The downtown corridor is replete with regal 18th century British Colonial architecture, home to government buildings, churches, fine-dining restaurants and small hotels. Cutting through town is Bay Street, a cruise ship passenger’s dream with hundreds of boutique shops, art galleries, cigar stores and sidewalk cafes. Lastly, the cultural heartbeat for many is the Straw Market just off Bay Street, a kind of Bahamian souk selling intricate handmade straw hats and bags.

The four blocks behind Bay Street offer more attractions not to be missed. Epicurians should check out Café Matisse for lunch or dinner and Graycliff Restaurant for dinner. Also, the interactive Pirates of Nassau Museum on King Street is much more than a kitschy tourist venue. It illuminates in depth the ribald history of piracy that had such a major effect on the formation of Bahamian society.  More Information >>>
