Barbuda, kites & family

Barbuda is the island you dream of finding: a pink-sand beach stretching as far as the eye can see, a huge lagoon and hardly anyone around. The perfect playground for a family cruise.

While the parents clocked up runs on the flat water, the kids built sandcastles in front of CARA, anchored a few metres from the shore. In the evening: dinner in the cockpit and sunset over the Atlantic.

What we loved

• The lagoon, ideal for progressing safely
• The quiet anchorage right off the beach
• Kiting for the grown-ups, swimming for the little ones
