Antigua and Barbuda are inviting people to send in messages of kindness and encouragement during the coronavirus crisis that may be displayed on one of the island’s 365 beaches and sent out to the world via social media.

Launched by the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, the ‘Messages in the Sand’ campaign is designed to spread uplifting sentiment around the world and at the same time “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 Fort James beach on Monday March 30 and revealed the following day. Messages will appear across social media, weekly on Mondays.

People can get involved by sending suggestions for messages to be written in the sand to the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority’s social media pages on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
