Fodor's Expert Review Frigate Bird Sanctuary

Barbuda Wildlife Refuge

Barbuda’s unique ecosystem and well-preserved landscape make it the idyllic location for a bevy of fauna and flora. Codrington Lagoon is home to the sanctuary and (historically) around 5,000 frigate birds, however, the population is still recovering from 2017’s Hurricane Irma. Tours are readily available to view these black beauties, as well as 180 other species of birds. During the breeding season, male Man O’ War (birds, not jellyfish) inflate their red throat sacs and show off their impressive 8-foot wingspan.
