The village itself is a peninsula, a large indentation projecting out into the water. The highest peak in the village is Mount Barrington. The hill is named after one of Antigua’s historical sites Fort Barrington, which lies on it. It was named after Admiral Barrington who had captured St. Lucia from the French 1667. The fort was built in the colonial period mainly as a ''look out'' for any battleships in the area. == Demography == Five Islands has a population of about five hundred people.
