I put this page together to show you a little something of the Caribbean islands which has been my home since 1985...... and to invite you to visit us some time. Here sun, sea and sand are a part of everyday life and the hardest decision you will have to make is whether to go snorkeling or have another pina colada.

You can link to over 200 sites about hotels, businesses and services in Antigua and its twin island... Barbuda by clicking Antigua Links above.

Antigua has been unusually blessed with a fine blend of both coral and volcanic formations. Created eons ago, this resulted in a long, scalloped coastline all around the island and each bay can boast deliciously white sand. With over 360 beaches packed into only 108 square miles we have a different beach for every day of the year and none of them are ever very far away. Here you can afford the luxuries of privacy and tranquility in beautiful settings that are ideal for picnics, barbecues...... or simply relaxing.

Our waters are clean, clear and perfect for rejuvenating the body and cleansing the soul. While we're on the subject let's not overlook our watersports. Besides swimming and snorkeling you can choose from sailing, deep sea fishing, water skiing, windsurfing,power boating and jet skiing (if you must... us sailors are not fond of stinkpots) and lets not forget Scuba diving..... the very best way to see the ocean. If you're into scuba check out my good friend Big John of Dive Antigua.

For the classic desert island you should visit our sister island Barbuda. Made primarily of coral, it is particularly renowned for an abundance of long, sweeping, pristine, pinky-white sand beaches. Since the island is totally uncommercialized an organized day trip is recommended.

Of course there's a lot more to Antigua than it's beautiful sandy beaches. The links below explore a few other highlights of my paradise home and the Antigua link page will take you to other sites that explore the possibilities in more detail.
