Welcome to Anguilla!
If what you want to do is relax on a beautiful beach and enjoy clear blue waters and cool
tropical breezes without the constant hustle of tourists, Anguilla is probably the island
for you.
This tiny British territory, measuring 16 miles long by three miles at
its widest point, is found in the eastern Caribbean at the top of the
Leeward Island chain.
Anguilla's 9,000 of so inhabitants are proud of their 30 powdery white sand beaches,
world-class hotels and exquisite restaurants. Not surprisingly, tourism is the mainstay of
this tiny country's economy and their cuisine is considered among the best in the
Caribbean.
Of course, the warm waters are great for diving and watersports as there
is an abundance of marine life. And the beaches are out of this world.
In fact, Shoal Bay East has been voted on the world's 10 best beaches.
But this is not the place to visit for wild nightlife or casinos (there aren't any).
Relax on the beaches, tour the historic buildings, dine like royalty (with
a little luck, you might see a princess or movie star; this island is
frequented by the famous!).
Anguilla is truly a tropical experience done right.
