OVERVIEW

Anguilla is a flat, low-lying island in the eastern Caribbean, known above all for long white beaches and calm turquoise bays. Development remains relatively low-rise, with villas, small hotels and restaurants distributed around the coast rather than concentrated in one large resort town. The dry interior is modest in scenery, while the shoreline and surrounding cays provide the main visual and recreational focus.

Swimming, quiet beach stays and high-quality dining are the main strengths. Bays vary from lively restaurant beaches to almost empty stretches of sand, and a rental car makes it easy to compare them. Nightlife is limited outside a few bars and music venues. Restrained development and the quality of the beaches matter more than a broad sightseeing programme.
