Anguilla has 33 beaches along its 35 miles of coastline with secluded coves, white sands and shallow blue waters. The perfect place to relax, Anguilla is a romantic haven in the Caribbean. This small and friendly island offers luxury hotels, fantastic restaurants and enchanting yacht trips to the surrounding islands, such as Sandy Island and Scilly Cay.  There are no facilities for cruise ships in Anguilla.

The most northerly of the Leeward Islands, Anguilla is 5 miles north of St Martin/St Maarten, which is accessible by boat for day trips or overnight stays. A British Dependency, the island has just 12,000 inhabitants with an almost non-existent crime rate.

Visitors can participate in the watersports including scuba diving, fishing, parasailing and snorkelling. Venturing inland, visitors can enjoy saltwater lakes and bird life. Further highlights include Island Harbour fishing village, the old cotton factory, Shoal Bay Beach and Crocus Hill, the island’s highest point.
