Found in the West Indies, Antigua and Barbuda is a sovereign island country in the Eastern Caribbean region. Part of the Leeward Islands, Antigua and Barbuda is made up of two inhabited main islands along with a number of smaller islands, including the uninhabited Redonda. Most of the people live in Antigua while Barbuda is sporadically inhabited. This island nation is best known for its unique attractions, sandy beaches in pink and white hues, crystal clear waters, and the most pleasurable climate in the world.
