Barbuda Island
Barbuda is part of a three-island state with Antigua and Redonda in the northeastern Caribbean. Less developed than Antigua, Barbuda has a wilder, more spontaneous beauty. In Barbuda you will see an island that is unspoilt by tourism. It is renowned for its deserted beaches sprinkled with pink sand, and miles long, a heavily-wooded interior abounding in birdlife, wild pigs and fallow deer.
