Lying in the Eastern Caribbean’s Leeward Islands, the English-speaking, two-island state of Antigua and Barbuda is a favored tourist destination affectionately referred to as the ‘Land of 365 Beaches’.
Antigua and Barbuda enjoy a pleasant year-round climate, with average air temperatures ranging between 25oC to 28oC (77oF to 82oF) and sea temperatures reaching 29oC (84oF). These lush tropical islands are stunningly beautiful locales, and tourism is the dominant source of income.
