Barbuda Island

Barbuda island is in 2nd place on the list of most beautiful islands in Antigua and Barbuda. This is a small Caribbean island that is part of the sovereign Commonwealth nation of Antigua and Barbuda. It is part of the Leeward Islands in the West Indies and is located north of the island of Antigua. On November 1, 1981, Antigua and Barbuda obtained complete independence as a constitutional monarchy within the Commonwealth of Nations. Because of its mild climate and beautiful shoreline, the island is a popular tourist destination.

For many years, the climate, stunning beaches, and terrain of Barbuda drew tourists. Barbuda Codrington Airport served the island, and there was also a boat service to Antigua. Swimming, snorkeling, fishing, and caving were among the activities available. In August 2017, years after Hurricane Luis, there were still just two working resorts on the island, despite intentions to create additional resorts before Hurricane Irma.

Popular attractions were the Frigate Bird Sanctuary at Codrington Lagoon, Martello Tower, a 19th-century fort, and Indian Cave, which included two rock-carved petroglyphs. The magnificent Pink Sands Beach, Darby's Cave, a sinkhole with a tropical rain forest inside, Highland House (named Willybob locally), the ruins of the 18th-century Codrington family residence, and the Dividing Wall that separated the wealthy family from its slaves, were also highlights.
