With 365 different beaches on the island, you could dedicate every day to lounging in the sun on a different beach – the warm Caribbean Sea lapping at your toes – and never visit the same one twice.  Just a short boat ride away, Barbuda offers even more pristine sands and turquoise waters, perfect for a day trip or a secluded getaway.  But the charm of this Caribbean gem extends way beyond its beaches with a rich history, vibrant culture and incredible food to also be explored. Once the most important English naval base in the entire Caribbean, Nelson’s Dockyard at English Harbour will give you a fascinating insight into the lives of England’s sea dogs. And high above the Dockyards is Shirley’s Heights – the scene of the island’s biggest barbecue, with reggae, steel bands and dancing every Sunday.
