Antigua Site

If you desire to land on historical places as you travel around the world, you should dare not miss visiting the English Harbor in Antigua.

Back in the 1800’s, it has been developed as a base for the British Navy in lieu of the command given by Horatio Nelson. It is focused on the fifteen square miles of Nelson’s Dockyard National Park that came into being in the great age of sail.

Located right in the heart of the Caribbean, in the middle of the British Leeward Islands, Antigua is most notable for its sunny, dry weather. In fact, it has one of the driest weathers in the whole Caribbean region, an asset when the rest of the islands are wilting under the humidity of the tropical climate.

Nestled between the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and the mighty North Atlantic Ocean, Antigua is almost completely surrounded by well-preserved coral reefs, walls, and shelfs. Being as it is, it’s no wonder then that many people equate Antigua with great diving in the Caribbean.

In fact, both Antigua and Barbuda, two islands comprising one nation, boast excellent shallow dive spots that are some of the best in the Eastern side of the Caribbean. However, of the two, Antigua has the most number of dive sites.

In search for that intimate accommodation in the Caribbean that provides the highest standards of service matched with a carefully preserved resort?

Blue Waters Antigua will surely prove what you are looking for. It is a family- owned hotel fronting a beach with clear waters and a shoreline that is powdery- white in color. It is one of the longest establishments in the entire country.

Before you go to the beach, you first spend a good amount of your time deciding what to wear. But while people spend lots of dollars in a gorgeous outfit, only very few actually pay attention to footwear. They think that there’s no need to because not many people actually look at your shoes or sandals when you go out.

The Birkenstock family (”Birki” for short) has been crafting and supplying men, women, and children with high quality footwear. Their over 200 year old commitment to excellence has yet to fade and instead has led to many innovations in Birki footwear. Among their latest innovations is the Birki Antigua, a casual pair of footwear with precision foot bed for maximum comfort.

The Birki Difference

Nestled between the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea and the mighty North Atlantic Ocean, Antigua is a tiny island that makes up the second half of the country, Antigua and Barbuda. With an area of 108 sq. km. and a fascinating landscape of low-lying limestone and coral islands with some higher volcanic areas, the island is a haven for people looking for a place to relax and have fun in their own tiny spot in the Caribbean.
