Antigua and Barbuda
A twin-island Caribbean nation in the Lesser Antilles, Antigua and Barbuda boasts 365 beaches — one for every day of the year. The capital St. John's on Antigua is a colorful port city. The islands were devastated by Hurricane Irma in 2017, particularly Barbuda, which was almost entirely evacuated. The economy depends heavily on tourism and the country is a popular destination for sailing and yachting.
Major cities: St. John's, All Saints, Liberta, Potter's Village
