Barbuda is part of the country of Antigua and Barbuda and is located in the northern part of the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean Sea, across the channel from Antigua. The 161-square-kilometer island is known for its pristine natural beauty, its small population (about 1,600) and its isolation from the hustle and bustle of the Caribbean. The island's Morne Beach stretches for several kilometers, with white sandy beaches bordering the blue waters, making it an ideal place for bird-watching, snorkeling and sunbathing; the Francisco Nature Reserve is home to a large number of red ibis, seabirds and other wildlife, and the ecology has been well preserved. There are no large hotels in Barbuda, with small inns and villas as the mainstay, suitable for travelers seeking tranquility and nature, and an excellent choice for experiencing the slow life in the Caribbean.
