Antigua is a Caribbean island in Antigua & Barbuda, famed for its deeply indented coastline said to hold 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. Its calm turquoise waters and historic English harbours make it a sailing haven. With a new stretch of powdery sand to claim each morning, choosing where to swim is the hardest decision you'll face!
When to go
The dry season from December to April brings sunny, breezy weather and is the busiest, most expensive time. The quieter summer and early fall are hotter and fall within the Atlantic hurricane season.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, Antigua is often nonstop from Toronto and sometimes seasonally from Montreal during the winter sun season, while smaller departure cities usually need a connection through Toronto or a US hub like Miami. Winter brings the widest choice of flights to this Caribbean escape.

Good to know before you go
The currency is the East Caribbean dollar, though US dollars are widely accepted, and English is the official language. There is no real public transit beyond cheap shared minibuses on set routes, so reaching the far-flung beaches means either renting a car (driving is on the left) or hiring taxis, whose rates are fixed by zone, so confirm the fare before you set off; note that many car agencies add a young-driver surcharge for under-25s, making zone taxis or a day tour easy car-free options.
