Introducing Antigua
Unlike its smooth-edged neighbors, Antigua looks like something that went ‘splat’ on the pavement. But oh if everything that went splat were this good.

There’s a distinct English accent to this classic Caribbean island with its narrow roads punctuated by candy-colored villages. You can explore most everything quickly, although the world-class sites of historic English Harbour will steal hours from your day. Take the time to savor the sand and sea: the former bright white, the latter beguiling blue.
