The island of Antigua is one of most popular sailing ports and tourist attractions in the Caribbean. The largest of the British Leeward Islands, its coral reefs are known worldwide for their incredible snorkeling and scuba diving. It has many varieties of restaurants, casinos, hotels and shops. The nearby island of Barbuda was once a paradise for treasure hunting because their reefs caused so many shipwrecks and now houses a wonderful bird sanctuary. The Antigua Sailing Week has become one of the top three regattas in the world. For the historians among you the National Park at English Harbour with the completely restored Nelsons Dock is the place to see.
