Barbuda Travel Guide

Antigua and Barbuda

Barbuda is a small Caribbean island community in Antigua and Barbuda, with a population of 1,638. It is a quiet destination rather than a large urban centre, so expect a simple island setting and limited built-up areas.

Travellers arriving by air use Barbuda Codrington Airport (BBQ). Princess Diana Beach is the nearest named beach, just 0.4 kilometres away, making the coast easy to reach from the main settlement area.
