| 2008 Vacation? NEW! Our Favorites... Anguilla Villas Anguilla Hotels Anguilla Resorts Anguilla Villa Rentals Share Anguilla Travel Stories |
It's amazing that such a teeny speck of a Caribbean island in the BWI (British West Indies), a mere 35 square miles, could have so much sand!.
And I don't just mean that we saw the 33 Anguilla beaches.
We walked them.
We swam, snorkeled, and snoozed on them.
Of course, we photographed every one of those spectacular Anguilla beaches...
We fell in love with them, with the people, with this entire perfect little island.
We watched terrific boat races (Anguilla's national sport, and August is the biggest month for boatracing).
We ate at some wonderful restaurants on Anguilla beaches.
And we slept every night in a serene, comfortable villa on a very secluded beach... Barnes Bay. (Even many lifelong Anguillians weren't sure where Barnes Bay was, so on an island that's considered secluded, that's really secluded!)
There's nothing like being lulled to sleep by ocean waves every night.
And my dad? Well, he loved the Anguilla beach bars. Something about "great rum punches..."
Anguilla beaches have so much to offer everyone... warmth, sunshine, peace, parties. Roast and laze in a beach chair or snorkel till your feet cramp.
So what was our favorite of all the Anguilla beaches, after a month of exploration and play?
They all were! You see, every beach in Anguilla is different, each with its own qualities that makes it special.
- Our favorite beaches
- Absolute "must do" in Anguilla
- Best hotels and resorts (cheap and expensive)
- Our favorite Anguilla villa -- where we stayed
- Yummiest Anguilla restaurants
- Most rewarding snorkeling spots (sorry, I don't scuba dive, but the diving is supposed to be awesome, too -- superb deep reefs and 9 wrecks around the island)
- Why my dad adores the Anguilla government (he usually hates government!)
- Greatest groceries (you'll see why this is important)
- My dad's top spots for Caribbean real estate (yes, he's looking!), all in Anguilla!
- The totally unique "little things" that make Anguilla, Anguilla.
- My dad's #1 tip for exploring Anguilla (no, it's not to rent an SUV!)
- More to come on these and other "Anguillian best" things to do, eat, and experience. Watch as I add to this list of "best of Anguilla"...
