Stingray City
In earlier times, fishermen found the land too hot so they used to gut their catch at sea – always in the same place, which was not without consequences. The stingrays loved the leftovers and returned again and again until eventually they did not go away. This was more or less the time that Stingray City was born.
Stingray City is now one of the most important tourist attractions in the Caribbean. Only on Antigua can you find anything similar. In Stingray City, divers can swim amongst the stingrays or feed the very trusting sea creatures their favorite food, squid. The stingrays do not have any teeth, they suck up their food. Underwater experts therefore have nothing to fear, but you should make sure that you do not step on one of the well-disguised stingrays that often float just above the sea floor. Then their tail shoots up in a knee-jerk reaction and can result in a very painful sting.
