Antigua: Island of the month June 2011

Antigua & Barbuda has been chosen by our team as the island of the month June 2011. Though they also received similar kudos in May 2011, they are selected this time mainly for their contributions in the sport fishing segment. There is always something exciting on the calendar of events for Antigua & Barbuda and June is no different with the hosting of the 45th annual Antigua and Barbuda sport fishing tournament.

The Antigua & Barbuda Sport Fishing Club holds two major events each year, one in May or June and another in November. This year the sport fishing events are carded from Friday 10th June 2011 to Monday June 13th 2011.

The two main days for fishing are Saturday 11th June and Sunday 12th June. Additionally, there is a newly introduced Marlin classic carded for Monday June 13th.

What we at Caribbean Insider’s Guide are particularly interested in the entry aspects of the tournament. Visitors on their Caribbean Holidays can enter the tournament and the administrators have also provided some charter companies that one may wish to contact. This gives guests to Antigua & Barbuda the opportunity to experience the Caribbean at its very best, on the gorgeous waters.

Antigua & Barbuda are renowned for their lovely beaches and warm surrounding waters. Avid sport fishing individuals will know that this is one of the best spots in the entire region to catch “that big one”.

For those of us that are not deeply involved or enthusiastic about the sport of fishing, there is no worry; the islands of Antigua & Barbuda still have you covered. There will be Caribbean parties planned around all the days and many beach bars will hold their own special versions of celebrating this fine event. There is not much room for missing out on at least one aspect of this event’s excitement.

For those of us who want nothing to do with the partying or the event, we still say no worries; Antigua offers those seeking peace and serenity some of the best spots on earth. Check out their many all-inclusive options, quiet getaway villas or fun family Caribbean Holidays packages.

We at Caribbean Insider’s Guide love the Caribbean and islands like Antigua & Barbuda reinforce why we feel this way. So plan that trip and see you soon under the sun, we will be the ones with the huge coconut in our hands drinking its cool refreshing water from a straw enjoying our Caribbean Holidays to the fullest.
