6. Antigua and Barbuda best beaches. in my opinion the best beaches are the secluded beaches that are harder to get to . I really like galley bay, pearns point , half moon bay, dickenson bay, galleon beach with its shipwreck and deep bay beach. while alot of people chose to stay at jolly harbor i didnt find the appeal in staying there and just visited for short period of time.

7. Fruit best places to get fruits and vegetables are at the public market complex and fig street from small local vendors. we tried to get the antigua black pineapple but it was out of season. prices for fruits are really high here so just be aware.

8. best snorkeling in Antigua If you are looking to do any kind of snorkeling or diving make sure you wake up early it was windy every afternoon with porr visibility. some of the best places to snorkel are stingray city, galleon bay, deep bay beach , long bay beach and cades reef. One of the best things to do in Antigua and Barbuda is to go snorkeling . we saw lots of turtles , stingray and shipwrecks.

9. If you are looking for some of the best food in antigua head over to perry bay on friday night. they have so much good food cooking there. some of the best places to eat in Antigua are on perry street on friday nights.

10. make sure you head to stingray city. There is no travel guide to antigua and barbuda that does not include snorkeling with stingrays. the cost is 60 us dollars per person. The visibility was excellent. and we got to not only hold stingrays but also feed them. this was once in a lifetime oppurtunity and no trip to Antigua would be complete without it. Make sure you go.
