This park has within it, museums, nightlife, shopping, beaches, dining and sporting activities. There is environmental preservations and conservation within the National Park. The eco-system is fragile and at the same time excitedly beautiful. The soil is of a coral formation and there are many sea animals including turtles and many different species of fishes. Many different birds such as the egrets, herons, pelicans and Man 'O War birds can be found in the mangroves. Sugar cane, which was introduced by the British, is still one of the major crops. The majority of Antiguans are of African lineage. Thus they are descendents of slaves that were brought to the island to cut sugar cane. Antigua was first inhabited by Meso-Indians called Siboney whose presence are still seen in the form of stone tools and well-crafted shells found at many different places on the island. The Carib Indians massacred the Arawaks, a peace-loving and agricultural people. The Carib Indians were the master of the sea, very skillful canoe drivers and most of all; they were very fierce and aggressive.

Culture Away from the resorts, Antigua retains a traditional West Indian character, manifest in the gingerbread architecture found around the capital, the popularity of steel band, calypso and reggae music, and in festivities such as Carnival. English traditions also play an important role, notably in the popularity of Anglicanism and cricket. Several Antiguan cricketers are considered among the best of all time. English is the official language, but most islanders speak a local patois. Antigua has a venerable literary tradition, dating back to colonial memoirs, and continuing with the works of world-renowned author Jamaica Kincaid. While generally friendly to outsiders, Antiguans are jealous of those who come from independent nations. The country's first prime minister was a trade unionist who led the fight for Antiguan autonomy. Among the British Caribbean islands, Antigua is one of the few that elects its own head of state. Barbuda shares the West Indian culture of its larger neighbor, but its isolation has given it some peculiar traits. Most of its 1100 people share half a dozen surnames and can trace their lineage to a small group of slaves brought to the island in the late 1600s. Breeding experiments on the slaves produced a population of inordinately tall people.
