Anguilla Guide to November Tip: November and early December is one of the best times to travel to Anguilla. It is still considered the off-season, so the rates are cheap, restaurants are starting to re-open, and the weather is nearly flawless.

Anguilla has not experienced a hurricane in November since Hurricane Lenny in 1999. Usually, you are in the clear when November rolls around. Click here for more on Anguilla weather in November.

November in Anguilla is just at the edge of the peak season. While the weather is starting to get cold in many of the home towns of visitors to the island, Anguilla is still warm and inviting.

The peak season in Anguilla runs from November 'till late March with many choosing to visit during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Moonsplash, and Easter. Celebrities start surfacing in Anguilla and visitors arrive to start working on tans, relaxation, and indulge on the near-perfect cuisine you can find from East to West.

The slow pace at the Dune Preserve picks back up and you may hear a couple extra tunes from Bankie. You see more people napping under the umbrellas on Shoal Bay, and strolling on Rendezvous Bay. Anguilla hotels and restaurants that have been closed have been readying themselves for the onslaught of people they will certainly will be happy and ready to host.

One of Anguilla's several barrier island excursions will be ready for you in November too!

On November 1st, Sandy Island reopens for business. It is one of the best times to visit Sandy Island.

You can catch the Sandy Island boat conveniently at Sandy Ground. The ride out of Road Bay and over to Sandy Island is 10 minutes (you can actually see the tiny spit of sand that is Sandy Island just beyond Road Bay). A boat ride is always a fun way of "getting there!"

Walking all the way around Sandy Island builds a hungry appetite for Sandy Island's yummy fresh grilled local lobster or crayfish. My favorite sight? You can see both Anguilla and St. Martin poking out above Anguilla!

Of course, when the visitors start arriving again, Anguilla Activities pick back up. The reefs and wrecks off of Anguilla will see more Anguilla snorkelers and divers for a day of underwater entertainment. You can easily snorkel at Sandy Island, too!

More events around the island start back up in November as well. Most notably, jazz is in the air in November!

The Anguilla Tranquility Jazz Festival takes place each year in November. This year (2011), it will be held November 10-13. This Anguilla event offers jazz by day and by night! My Mom and Dad will be attending the Anguilla Jazz Festival this November, and will report back. Stay tuned for more details and a story...

The month closes off with a race for a good cause, Anguilla's Optimist Race Against AIDS that is held November 28 in 2011. There is a 5K, 10K, and half-marathon run.
