"When visiting English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda, it's important to respect the local customs and traditions. Dress modestly when not on the beach, as revealing clothing can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid making negative comments about the local food, people, or culture, as this can be seen as offensive. It's also considered rude to take photos of people without their permission, so always ask first. Don't touch or handle items in local markets without permission, as this can be seen as disrespectful. Avoid discussing sensitive topics such as politics or religion, as these can lead to heated debates. Always remember to tip for good service, as it's customary in Antigua and Barbuda.
