Anguilla

Anguilla offers travelers the best of the Caribbean: beaches, sand, clear turquoise waters, and pristine natural resources to explore, without all the extras that you’ll find on some of the other Caribbean Islands. That is, Anguilla doesn’t have casinos, hot nightclub action, tourist shopping malls, nude beaches, and other trappings of developed tourist destinations.

Anguilla is visited mostly by very wealthy and famous travelers. The resorts here are top notch, world-class establishments, and these people pay lots of money to stay at them undisturbed.
But Anguilla is much more than a haven for the exclusively rich and famous. Anguilla is known for fresh lobster grilled right on the beach, a delight not to miss if you have the chance.

If you tire of the beaches and fabulous watersports, an in-town stroll in Anguilla is also a delight. The architecture is a wonderful mix of mediterranean-style villas, wooden caribbean bungalows, and Greek island style white and blue resorts. You could say the architecture of Anguilla is a mix of styles from the best resort spots in the world.

Traditionally, residents of Anguilla have been fishermen and builders of boats. Their boats are painted in bright Caribbean pastels and are capable of venturing way offshore for the best fish.

Also in town you can visit the Anguilla Natural Trust Museum. This museum focuses on the natural beauty of Anguilla, and some cultural history like the Anguilla Revolution. Also learn about the Salt Industry and the coral reef that lies just beyond the sandy beaches of Anguilla. The Ambylhryza, or giant prehistoric rat is also explored here, if you like wildlife.
