Antigua
Having long been on the tourist map, there are many hotels, large and small, that cater to families and couple alike. For those not wanting to relax on one of the numerous beaches or sail the Caribbean seas, there is much in the way of history to explore. Nelsons Dockyard at English Harbour (named after Horatio Nelson), is the only restored Georgian dockyard in the world and dates back to the 18th century when it was a British Naval base. Betty’s Hope, once the largest sugar plantation on Antigua, is now the only working sugar mill in the Caribbean and is well worth a visit to see how Antigua, and indeed most of the Caribbean Islands, once made their fortunes.
