St. John's, the capital and largest 
city of Antigua  and Barbuda, is dominated by the white baroque towers of 
St. John's Cathedral, this rendition built in 1845, following an earthquake.  | 
 The houses on 
Antigua are quaint and colorful.

There are 365 beaches on 
Antigua. The great majority rest inside the calm, protected waters of the 
island's Caribbean side. All are public. Dickenson Bay and Runaway Bay, 
located along the island's developed northwestern coast, are fully-loaded 
resort beach experience. The beaches most convenient to St. John's are Fort 
James, a locally popular public beach, and Deep Bay. Galley Bay attracts 
surfers during the winter months. The series of four crescent beaches at 
Hawksbill are also highly regarded, one of which is nudist. |
