Location

Type of beach
Barbuda is an active coast that is located close to a plate boundary. It is classified as active because it is land that is constantly moving. It is also a primary coast in which it was formed by non-marine actions. Its features were created by geologic processes such as the moving of tectonic plates. It is a submergent coast because the sea level around it is constantly rising, therefore the whole island will be under water eventually.
