Life in Antigua and Barbuda-	Due to their location in the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda sometimes experience hurricanes and tropical storms from July to October.

Like virtually any island nation in the Caribbean, Antigua and Barbuda have plenty of sun, sand, and surf for every person during their Caribbean vacation rental. But there are lots of things unique to Antigua and Barbuda as well.
 
For instance, Barbuda is home to a large, shallow lagoon on the northwest area of the scenic island, and it’s also the home to a frigate bird colony that contains over 400 different species of birds. Some of the birds have been observed to have a wing span of over eight feet! And Antigua is home to Nelson’s Dockyard, a historic dockyard that’s been restored – complete with shops, restaurants, and a nautical museum.
 
With 365 different beaches, Antigua and Barbuda like to brag that that’s one for every day of the year! They’ve also got numerous rocky cliffs, coral reefs, and natural limestone formations like Devil’s Bridge. Along with plenty of temperate rainforests that are perfect for taking an adventure canopy tour, and lots of open spaces for an off-road Jeep safari, Antigua and Barbuda are full of colorful buildings, wandering native goats, caves and caverns, and historic ruins like Betty’s Hope sugar plantation or Martello tower.
 
When Admiral Horatio Nelson discovered the scenic islands in 1784, he immediately recognized the stunning beauty that was unique to Antigua and Barbuda and, whether you’re scuba diving, sailing, or checking out the colorful costumes during Carnival, you will certainly agree!
