island independent Nation, is located at 17N 61W, at the centre of the arc of the island chain known as the Leeward Islands, in the eastern Caribbean. Antigua and Barbuda boasts 365 beaches, one for each day of the year. Antigua Island is 108 square miles (280 sq. km.) and Barbuda is 65 square miles. The combined population is approaching 100,000. There has been a 25% growth in population due mainly to opportunity presented by increasing Tourism and to the building and construction sector. Most of the growth comes from within the Caribbean Community, CARICOM, which allows for free movement of qualified persons seeking work.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-98c0e9f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"98c0e9f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-ad08fdb\" data-id=\"ad08fdb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6266d911 elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"6266d911\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1651\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1651\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Climate<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1651\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1651\"><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Temperatures range from 24C (76F) to 30C (86F).

While some return many have integrated into these adopted countries. It is estimated that there are 7 times more Antiguans living abroad than live in Antigua.

The Antiguans return for our major events such as cricket, carnival, family celebrations and visits. They are an important part of our tourist industry. Antigua in turn over the past 60 years has become very cosmopolitan. Many Europeans including Italian, Dutch, French, German, Austrian and Scandinavian are living and working here. Venezuelan, Japanese and Chinese have a growing presence and population. The Lebanese, Syrian and Portuguese community has had a presence in Antigua for well over 100 years and have contributed significantly to Antigua and Barbuda.

The Naval Yard and very safe, well-fortified and protected Harbour was the base of operations for Nelson\u2019s Fleet and credited for his many victories prior to Trafalgar since it afforded services and repairs not available to the French. The Dockyard was essentially abandoned in the 19th century and was closed in 1889. Nelson\u2019s Dockyard has been restored over time. This restoration continues. Nelson\u2019s Dockyard is the only operational Georgian dockyard in the world and is the centre for the Caribbean Yachting Fleet.

The British were the first Europeans to establish a settlement in 1632 and, except for a brief period, when the settlement was occupied by the French, Antigua and Barbuda remained a British colony until granted independence on November 1, 1981.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Airport and Local Transportation\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Antigua boasts a new state of the art International Airport with efficient baggage handling, porters, ticket operations and clearing in and out services from Customs and Immigration.

The Naval Yard and very safe, well-fortified and protected Harbour was the base of operations for Nelson\\u2019s Fleet and credited for his many victories prior to Trafalgar since it afforded services and repairs not available to the French. The Dockyard was essentially abandoned in the 19th century and was closed in 1889. Nelson\\u2019s Dockyard has been restored over time. This restoration continues. Nelson\\u2019s Dockyard is the only operational Georgian dockyard in the world and is the centre for the Caribbean Yachting Fleet. English Harbour is surrounded by fortifications such as Fort Shirley (Shirley Heights), Fort George (Monk\\u2019s Hill) and other somewhat neglected but partially restored fortifications which provide visitors a glimpse at the harbour\\u2019s historical past.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Shirley Heights\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><a href=\\\"https:\\\/\\\/thepeninsulaantigua.com\\\/about-antigua\\\/\\\"><b>SHIRLEY HEIGHTS<\\\/b><\\\/a><\\\/p><p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Popular with visitors and residents, Shirley Heights provides visitors with vistas and views over spectacular sunsets.The neighbouring islands of Guadeloupe, Montserrat, and Redonda provide a backdrop to these vistas, especially on Sunday evenings when Shirley Heights hosts a barbeque, with live steel band and reggae music.<\\\/span><\\\/p>\"}},{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Sailing and Yachting\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"<p><span style=\\\"font-weight: 400;\\\">Antigua is a major yachting centre.
