Antigua and Barbuda Lesser Antilles

Among the many islands that make up the Lesser Antilles, Antigua and Barbuda distinguishes herself for her deeply indented coastline, her natural harbours and protective coral reefs, her rolling hills and her relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. The island nation of Antigua and Barbuda is made up of the two main islands and uninhabited Redonda, a rocky outcrop 20 miles southwest of Antigua. Antigua's 280 sq km of hills and flatlands is edged with 365 white sandy beaches, one for every day of the year. Barbuda's 60 km perimeter is an almost continuous beach. The perfect beaches are complemented by striking vegetation, exotic fruits and a warm and friendly people.
