Falmouth, Antigua and Barbuda

Capital City

Falmouth may look picturesque, but the reality is a small, sleepy town with limited amenities. The population is just 240 residents, 87% of whom are of African descent. While tourism and yachting dominate the economy, the employment rate is only 60%. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache - a 2018 proposal aimed to let squatters buy their land for $1 per square foot, suggesting a complex property landscape. This coastal port is best suited for retirees or digital nomads seeking a quiet, isolated life, not ambitious expats looking to build a career.
