The island of Antigua boasts 365 beaches— that’s right, enough to visit a new beach every day for an entire year. While its powder-white sands and glistening teal waters continue to lure international travelers back season after season, the small Caribbean island offers various experiences for all types of visitors, from historical venues to natural wonders.
Here are some must-see sites for your next trip to Antigua.
Unforgettable Beaches
Whether you’re looking for a quiet and secluded beach to relax on or a lively beach full of activities, Antigua has you covered. The variety of all-inclusive resorts and day tours to take you to remote slices of paradise will be sure to satisfy all your cravings.

Rock Formations
Antigua has two iconic rock formations: Devil’s Bridge and the Pillars of Hercules. Devil’s Bridge is a fascinating limestone bridge carved out by the sea. Surrounding the area, you’ll also find geysers and blowholes, which are best seen during high tide. The Pillars of Hercules is another set of unique rock structures formed by the ocean’s waves. These formations are chiseled against a cliff, carving pillars onto the side.
Historic Structures
Antigua’s military history is spread throughout the island, offering multiple sites to see on a driving tour. The most popular stop is at the 18th-century British naval dockyard and UNESCO World Heritage site, Nelson’s Dockyard National Park. Other historical sites not to miss on the island include the remnants of Fort James and Fort Barrington, as well as a panoramic view overlooking the island at Fort Shirley.
