Antigua

Antigua and Barbuda

Antigua is an island nation in the eastern Caribbean, with its cruise port at St. John's, the capital. Colonized by the English in the 17th century, it became a center of sugar plantations and British naval power. Visitors can see Nelson's Dockyard at English Harbour, the restored Georgian naval base, the hilltop Shirley Heights lookout, the island's 365 beaches, and the cathedral and market streets of St. John's.
