Antigua & Barbuda Geography & Environment

With 153 kilometres (96 miles) of coastline, beaches are common, and the curvy coastline has created many sheltered bays ideal for swimming. Beaches are white or pink, and often centre around what were once volcanic craters.

Antigua's Boggy Peak is the highest point on the islands, measuring 402 metres (1318.5 feet) above sea level. Barbuda and Redonda are relatively flat in comparison.

Around 20% of the land is forested. The main crops of Antigua include mangoes, guavas, coconuts and bananas, where as Barbuda is kept more for wildlife than cultivating marketable crops. More than 150 species have been recorded on its land, including deer, wild pigs and various types of birds. Redonda has little to offer outside of bird watching, but is known as one of the few places on earth to see the increasingly rare Burrowing Owl. While they are somewhat forested, Antigua and Barbuda tend to experience a drier climate than most of the Caribbean nations.

Antigua and Barbuda are located on the eastern crest of the Leeward Islands, with the Atlantic Ocean off the northern coasts and the Caribbean Sea to the south west. This position makes them susceptible to potential storms and hurricanes through late summer and early fall. The result can be devastating, as when Hurricane Luis flooded three quarters of Barbuda.

Antigua is divided into 6 distinct regions, while Barbados and Redonda act as dependencies of Antigua.
