Family Overview: Barbuda

By Candyce H. Stapen
An 18-minute flight, or three-hour ferry ride, takes passengers from Antigua to its sister island Barbuda. A required day trip for beach aficionados, bird lovers, fishing enthusiasts, and those who want a glimpse of the unspoiled Caribbean, Barbuda caters to seekers of sun, sand, and seclusion. With merely three major hotels (all upscale), a handful of guest cottages, and a population of 1,500 to 2,000 people, the island remains relatively untouched by the outside world. Most Barbudans live in or near Codrington, the major town, and fish for a living. Stroll by the dock in late morning to watch the fishermen sort grouper, tiger fish, and lobster as seagulls swarm above the boats. Read More
