Antigua boasts an intricate coastline of bays, coves, and inlets, and a plethora of white-sand beaches. Set inside one of the island’s great natural harbors, St. John’s is the bustling capital, maritime hub and center for commerce, including a lively farmers’ and crafts market. The British left a lasting imprint on the city, from Fort James and Fort Barrington guarding the harbor entrance to the gleaming white towers of the landmark St. John’s Cathedral. Inside the 18th-century Court House, the Museum of Antigua and Barbuda showcases local history dating to the first Arawak settlements.
