#antigua #barbuda Antigua’s tourist office boasts that the island has 365 beaches, ‘one for each day of the year’. It has great #reefs and wrecks for #diving and #snorkeling. On neighboring #Barbuda you can track the island’s fabled frigate birds and visit the Caribbean’s largest rookery. Barbuda is a quiet, single-village island that has less than 2% of the nation’s population and gets very few independent visitors, mainly ardent bird watchers and a few yachters enjoying its clear waters and tranquil beaches. Antigua is a touch more happening, but the pace is still deliciously slow. Antigua can be described as tropical and humid, while Barbuda would be more arid. The islands have an annual temperature of 24 degrees Celsius (75 F) and remains constant throughout the summer and winter. The average annual rainfall is 42 inches, but drought can be a factor. The islands are located southeast of #PuertoRico in the eastern #Caribbean at the southern end of the #LeewardIslands. Antigua covers an area of 108 square miles. Barbuda covers an area of 62 square miles. Antigua can be described in three ways. The northern part consists of small scrub covered rolling hills, the central area is a fertile plain, while the southwest has formation of volcanos and tropical valleys. Barbuda is a very flat island and its foundation consists of coral and linestone. blog.toptraveleurope.net/blog/?page_id=11174
