運転先 Antigua And Barbuda

Antigua and Barbuda, a twin-island nation in the Caribbean, boasts the remarkable claim of having 365 beaches—one for every day of the year. This tropical paradise offers delightful driving experiences through colonial history, stunning coastlines, and vibrant island culture.

Antigua, the larger island, features rolling hills, historic sugar plantations, and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Nelson's Dockyard in English Harbour. This restored Georgian naval facility served as headquarters for the British Royal Navy in the Caribbean and now houses museums, restaurants, and yacht facilities. Shirley Heights offers panoramic views and famous Sunday barbecue parties.

The capital St. John's showcases colorful colonial architecture, the impressive St. John's Cathedral with its baroque twin towers, and a lively waterfront market. Nearby Fort James guards the entrance to the harbor with well-preserved 18th-century cannons.

Barbuda, the smaller sister island, remains largely undeveloped with the spectacular 17-mile pink sand beach and the Frigate Bird Sanctuary, home to over 5,000 magnificent frigatebirds.

Caribbean cuisine shines with fresh seafood, Pepperpot stew, Fungi (cornmeal and okra), and the national dish Ducana (sweet potato dumpling). Rum punch accompanies every celebration.
