Description
Barbuda is an island located in the eastern Caribbean and is part of the nation of Antigua and Barbuda. It is situated approximately 28 miles north of the main island of Antigua. Known for its stunning beaches and coral reefs, Barbuda is a popular destination for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty away from the hustle and bustle of more commercialized areas.
The island is relatively flat and covers an area of around 62 square miles. Barbuda boasts a population of approximately 1,600 residents, most of whom live in the village of Codrington. The island is less developed than Antigua, allowing visitors to experience its unspoiled landscapes and abundant wildlife, including the famous Frigate Bird Sanctuary, which hosts one of the largest colonies of these birds in the world.
Barbuda experienced significant challenges following the devastation of Hurricane Irma in 2017, which caused widespread destruction. However, the resilience of its community and efforts for recovery have been noteworthy. The island continues to attract visitors with its unique charm, offering opportunities for eco-tourism, snorkeling, and relaxation on some of the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches.
