Anguilla
Anguilla is located in the northeastern Caribbean, and offers an easy island vibe along with a fascinating blend of South American Amerindian, Arawak, French and British cultures.
The island is approximately 16 miles long, from the East end to the West end, and 3 miles at its widest point. You can drive from one end of the island to the other in approximately 45 minutes.
Anguilla is just a 7-10 minute flight from St. Maarten, and a 1-hour flight from Puerto Rico. You can also take a private boat charter from St. Maarten, which is around 20-30 minutes. Air charters are also available to and from Antigua, St. Kitts and from various islands throughout the Caribbean.
Anguilla's Blowing Point Ferry Terminal welcomes travellers arriving by private charter and public ferry.
The public ferry operates multiple times daily between St. Martin and Anguilla.
Highlights include:
The Arch in West End
Long Bay
Shoal Bay
Rendezvous Bay Beach
Heritage Museum
Old Courthouse at Crocus Hill
Maundays Bay
Meads Bay
Captains Bay
Limestone Bay
Wallblake House
Charter a private catamaran and set sail to snorkel and explore Prickly Pear Cays. The cays are small uninhabited islands and are important for seabirds, angelfish, groupers, squirrelfish, butterflyfish, and nurse sharks.
Take a short boat ride to the tropical paradise of Sandy Island, one of Anguilla's off-island cays. While there, enjoy beach chairs and beds, snorkelling, and fresh seafood.
