Anguilla Caribbean Mansion Tour Windward Point
Welcome to the tip of the East coast, Windward Point. Like the
far Western tip of Anguilla, the Eastern tip is free of Anguilla villas, mansions, or any other structure (except for the beacon).
Let's see where we are...
The red dot (left) is Windward Point.
Click to pop up a high-scale map to see how to get there.
If you were to drive from The Valley in the heart of Anguilla and head
East till land ran out, Windward Point is where you'd stop. And in fact,
if you do that, you can get pretty close before you have to stop and walk.
We've done exactly that in the past.
But, this time, here's a shot from our sea tour...
Windward Point
Though that drive may take you a fair bit of time (30 minutes), don't get discouraged. Once you
park your car, it is an easy hike up the "mountain".
We've taken the trail several times, and we've always been greatly rewarded...
The views stretch forever!
Look west, and you'll find miles of Anguilla.
Further east? Scrub Island!
Then of course, to the south is the prominent St. Martin.
And... on a clear day... you can even see St. Barts way in the distance!
And you won't have to share it with anyone.
There is never anyone else on Windward Point.
Most people don't want to make the drive.
Thank goodness! Now you can be totally at ease, with nothing but the sound
of the roaring waves to keep you company.
Well, I guess I shouldn't say totally alone.
A visitor like this just may drop by!
She swam by and spouted "hello" while we were on our 'round the island boat ride near Windward Point.
We were thrilled! How often do you stumble upon a mother Humpback and her baby?
Apparently, not often in Anguilla. Even Shaun (the Captain of the Sea Grape) and his first mate, Jeff,
who are out on the water all of the time, couldn't contain their excitement!
We followed the Humpbacks as far and for as long as we could!
While Windward Point has so much to offer those of us in tune with nature, it doesn't
provide much in terms of established lodging.
But my Dad sure would love to have an Anguilla villa on top of that mini-mountain!
