Frigate Bird Sanctuary, Barbuda
One of the largest nesting colonies in the Caribbean for Frigate Birds will be found in the Codrington Lagoon
to which birders from around the world are attracted. Although it is probably these fascinating birds with
their meter and a half wingspan and bright red gullets which attract many of the birders, there are also 150
other species of birds in this area, sharing the lagoon.

17 Mile Beach Barbuda
Most people who stroll along this 17 mile stretch of pink-tinged sand will feel at one with nature on this
quiet, unsullied island. Separating the Barbuda lagoon from the Caribbean Sea, this beach is lapped by
pale, picturesque aqua waters which lures the visitor over on day trips. But you should bring your own
supplies with you as beach vendors, restaurants and bars won’t be as prolific as on the sister island,
Antigua.
