A 20-minute flight or 3-hour boat ride from Antigua, Barbuda is one of the Caribbeans less-developed islands. Ringed by beautiful coral reefs, an abundance of shipwrecks, and pink- and white-sand beaches, the island attracts snorkelers, divers, beachcombers, and birders. The Frigate Bird Sanctuary, in the northwestern lagoon, is home to more than 5,000 frigate birds and 170 bird species.
