On Autigua, one could visit a different beach each day for a year and still have one more left to see. Imagine - there are 366 beautiful beaches on this tropical paradise. First settled in the 1600s by English colonists, Antigua remained a British colony until its independence in 1981, when it joined the British Commonwealth. Today, Antigua is a popular vacation destination, attracting tourists with its ideal climate, amazing landscape and leisurely lifestyle.
