Antigua is the largest of the Leeward Islands and enjoys a fine, warm and healthy climate. It is probably best known for its fine white sand beaches, Antigua Sailing Week and cricket having produced some famous world-class cricketers. It is fast becoming a major tourist destination with fine hotels, good restaurants and a wealth of things to do. It is also historically famous, English Harbour having been the home of Admiral Nelson and the British Caribbean Fleet during the 17th and 18th centuries. Many Georgian building have been preserved and the harbour now provides an excellent marina for visiting yachts from all around the world. Barbuda, Antigua's sister island, 27 miles to the North is also worth a visit with its fine beaches, spectacular diving and is the home and nesting place of the Frigate Bird.
