Kids and families will certainly enjoy living for a while exiled from urban life. Because Barbuda is all about beaches and getting in touch with the most simple acts of life such as feeling the sand under your feet because there is nothing else that can distract you from that precious moment.

The beaches are long stretches of white sand that meet the sea in a simplicity that kids will believe that they will stay on the island forever. There are no facilities on the beaches so if you go with the little ones take water and umbrellas for shade with you. Some beaches are wonderful for kids because they have shallow water or they bear rock formations that create pools. The kids will love to see the marine fauna and flora inside the pools. The family will also have the opportunity to mingle with the locals specially over the weekends when Antiguans go to the beach to swim and make picnics by the seaside.

The family can also visit other sites of Antigua such as the caves: you can enter or climb to the top, yes, the boys will love that adventure! You can also hire a boat wih a navigator and guide and take the kids for a fishing trip. They will certainly be excited at the barracudas, tuna and even sharks that they fish as the locals show them the tricks of fishing in the Caribbean. If the kids are older, it will be a good time to go over Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea.

Finally, you can also hire a boat to go Frigate Bird Sanctuary and watch the more than 170 species of magnificent birds included 5,000 frigate birds.
