Anguilla is a low, flat coral sliver in the northern Caribbean, famous above all for its beaches. The whole 26 km island is fringed with powder-white sand and impossibly clear shallows, while offshore cays and reefs draw snorkellers to vivid coral and turquoise lagoons. There are no high-rises and no casinos; the appeal is barefoot luxury, fresh seafood shacks, world-class beach bars and a live-music scene rooted in reggae and string bands. Quiet, polished and unmistakably…
At the Dune Preserve on Rendezvous Bay, singer Bankie Banx keeps his driftwood bar humming — his Moonsplash festival has animated the island since 1991.
Anguilla lines up 33 white-sand beaches along 26 km — Shoal Bay East regularly ranks among the world's finest.
The island is a 25-minute ferry from Saint-Martin. An eSIM helps: sea-shuttle timetables, the Sandy Island excursion and the beach-concert calendar.
