ANTIGUA and BARBUDA ~ Dickenson Bay - St John's~

... Next postcard from Glenn's Caribbean winter escape🌞🏝️... one of Antigua’s 365 beautiful beaches is home to a boldly-coloured telephone box... the red phone booth at Siboney Beach Club has become an iconic landmark on Dickenson Bay... the bright red colour contrasts beautifully with the blue sea and the green of the surrounding palm trees... daily hundreds of "cruisers" walking through to take their photos by the phone box... but I still find it so weird seeing a red phone box against such a tropical backdrop😁... Big Thanks Glenn! \_(♥‿♥)_/ 

Dickenson Bay is located on the Northwestern coast of the island in  St. John Parish and is the most developed beach on the island, with hotels restaurants and water sports facilities.

While the official name is Antigua and Barbuda, the territory actually includes three islands. This comprises Antigua, Barbuda and Redonda. Antigua is the largest island of the nation Antigua and Barbuda. It lies in the middle of the Leeward Islands and the capital is St. John's.
