10 of the best things to do in Antigua, from jungle adventures to beautiful beaches

Antigua is one of two main islands that comprise the country of Antigua and Barbuda - (Getty Images)

This Caribbean island – one ‘half’ of the country of Antigua and Barbuda – offers a beach for every day of the year. And while you may need weeks to explore all of these, you’d want far longer to fully explore Antigua. The island contains a range of activities that belies its modest size, from exploring colonial towns to kayaking around Caribbean islets.

English Harbour, Nelson’s Dockyard and the capital provide daytime entertainment, nightlife and opportunities to learn about this captivating country. A day trip to Barbuda is always an option – as is lying on a picture-perfect beach – but be sure to see inland too, from the island’s thick rainforest to the sweeping views available from Shirley Heights.
