BARBUDA
BARBUDA BEACHES
CARIBBEAN BEST
Barbuda has the incredible particularity that, while on one side of the island the Atlantic Ocean violently hits the shore of the wild beaches, on the other side the Caribbean Sea meets a strait of quiet white and pink sand beaches surrounded by an area which is not as developed as other beaches in the Caribbean Sea.
With only 24 km in length and 13 km in width, the island is mainly rocky and flat, with numerous caves, the most famous being the Indian Cave, where you can see old Amerindian inscriptions carved in the stone.
Also, there are other rocks which can be climbed for the most fabulous view of the island. And still, you can discover the underwater caves, which are the perfect choice for scuba diving lovers.
WHERE TO STAY AND WHAT TO DO
In Barbuda there is a good choice of hotels so that tourists can easily find the kind of accommodation that best suits them.
There are two buildings which are well worth visiting: Codringtonīs Highland House (former residence of the richest family on the island in colonial times), and Martello Tower, a fort built for the defence of the island and a post from which to observe valuable shipwrecks in the surrounding reefs. These shipwrecks are also an excellent place for snorkelling, because the sea offers excellent visibility.
Another interesting place to visit is Codrington Lagoon, with a great number of birds living in a very pleasant environment.
WHEN AND HOW TO GO
To get to Barbuda, you need to fly to Antigua and there take a ferry to the island.
The best time of the year to visit it is from November to April.
