Antigua and Barbuda
The larger of the two islands that make up Antigua and Barbuda, a 108-square-mile volcanic-and-coral landmass in the Leeward Caribbean with a much-quoted boast of 365 beaches, one for every day of the year. The southwest coast holds Nelson's Dockyard at English Harbour, the only continuously-running Georgian-era dockyard on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sunday evenings draw the island to Shirley Heights for steel-band-and-barbecue sunsets over the same harbour. The Dickenson Bay strip on the northwest coast anchors the all-inclusive resort cluster, and a 90-minute ferry north reaches Barbuda's pink-sand Princess Diana Beach.
