Antigua is easily viewed in a short helicopter flight as it is only 13 miles across. Unlike some Caribbean islands with only a handful of nice beaches, Antigua is unique in that it is surrounded by great beaches. In fact, you could literally visit a different beach every day as there are 365 beautiful white sand beaches to enjoy.
