ST. JOHN’S, ANTIGUA (March 31, 2020) – Antigua and Barbuda is spreading words of encouragement and kindness around the world, by writing messages in the sand, aimed at uplifting persons around the world during the coronavirus pandemic.  

The inspiring messages will be written on some of Antigua and Barbuda’s beautiful 365 sandy beaches.  Launched by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, the ‘Messages in the Sand’ imagery aims to bring a slice of Antigua and Barbuda’s tranquillity to everyone’s home.

The first message in the sand, “Stay Safe” was written on the shore of Antigua’s breathtaking Fort James beach on Monday 30 March and revealed on Tuesday 31 March.  Messages will appear across social media, weekly on Mondays.
