Barbuda, West Indies

Barbuda lies approximately 30 miles north of Antigua. It is very flat except for thre area known as "The Highlands" which rise to about 128 feet. The island is primarily limestone and it has very little rainfall and has no streams or lakes. The beach, however, at Cocoa Point is regarded by many travellers as the most beautful beach in the Caribbean. Practically the entire coastline is edged with coral reefs making it very dangerous for shipping however excellent for enthusiastic SCUBA divers.
