Codrington

Introduction

Codrington is the capital of Barbuda. Barbuda was "totally demolished" by September 2017's Hurricane Irma, with 90% of all dwellings levelled. Rebuilding is planned in order to make the island habitable again, but as of late September 2017 Barbuda isn't a destination for anyone but cleanup crews.

Getting There
