Today, most of the island's historical sites such as the fort ruins and the Old World architecture of English Harbourtown, are reminders of colonial efforts to ensure the region’s safety from invasion. This unique island paradise is now more well-known for her plentiful 365 beaches and fully-restored sugar mills that now serve as houses, restaurants, shops and bars. But Antigua is so much more than countless beaches or an architectural haven, it’s a locale bustling with spicy Creole flavors, remnants of British Colonial and Arawak traditions, and the celebration of a distinctive and rich history. Even more, this archipelago boasts a vast coastline of safe harbors that are protected by an unspoiled coral reef wall, a barrier that supports the amazing wealth of secluded, powdery beaches scattered about the island.

With unmatched splendor, Antigua’s amazing coastline and abundant harbours are ideal for yacht cruising and racing, as the island has developed a reputation for its many annual yacht and boating regattas—the most renowned being Antigua Sailing Week. Now, visitors to Antigua can join in on the fun all-year-round through one of the many yachting and boating experiences Island Routes offers!
