Geography

Antigua and Barbuda is located in the Lesser Antilles and consists of three islands, the largest of which is Antigua. Further north about 50 km we find Barbuda and to the west the uninhabited Redonda. The coastline of Antigua is made up of a large number of bays and coves, which form exceptionally beautiful white sand beaches.

  • The island of Antigua - 281 km2, 96,000 inhabitants
  • Island of Barbuda - 161 km2, 1 700 inhabitants
  • Redonda Island - 0.8 km2, uninhabited

Overall, the island is mostly undulating photogenic hills except for the north and northeast, which are flat. The south-west of the island is the most hilly.

The highest peak is Boggy Peak (402 m above sea level).

Barbuda is flat with the highest point at 45 m above sea level, of coral origin, with beautiful pink sand (in autumn). The island of Barbuda is a true paradise for travellers who prefer peace and relaxation also for ornithologists who will be delighted by the endemics in the vast Codrington Lagoon.
