Located approximately 56 kilometers southwest of Antigua, this tiny, crescent-shaped island rises dramatically from the sea with sheer cliffs reaching 300 meters. Redonda is a nature reserve and bird sanctuary, home to thousands of seabirds including magnificent frigatebirds, boobies, and terns. The island's fascinating history includes a brief period as the 'Kingdom of Redonda'—a literary micronation with self-proclaimed kings. Today, visitors come primarily for exceptional birdwatching, dramatic photography opportunities, and the thrill of exploring a truly wild, untouched landscape. Access is challenging (typically by private boat or charter from Antigua), making it perfect for adventurous travelers seeking solitude and raw natural beauty. The island's mineral-rich soil supports unique vegetation, and conservation efforts have successfully eradicated invasive species, allowing native wildlife to thrive. Redonda represents the Caribbean in its most primal, untamed form.","Left","No electricity infrastructure; visitors must be self-sufficient",[19,22,24,26],{"key":20,"value":21},"Police","911",{"key":23,"value":21},"Ambulance",{"key":25,"value":21},"Fire",{"key":27,"value":28},"Tourist Police","",[30,33,36,39,42],{"key":31,"value":32},"Can tourists stay overnight on Redonda?","No, overnight stays are prohibited.
