Parham is one of the six administrative districts of the Caribbean island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, located on the northeastern coast of the main island of Antigua. The district is centered on Parham Harbor, northeast of the city of St. John's, and has important maritime and tourism functions.
Parham is located on the northeastern coast of the island of Antigua, adjacent to the capital city of St. John's, and has a natural deep-water harbor, Parham Harbor. The region is dominated by coastal plains, with some areas retaining tropical vegetation, and has a tropical maritime climate that is warm and humid throughout the year.
