Anguilla

Destination Spotlight | September 12, 2011

After our adventures on St. Barths, Summer, Lindsey, & I ventured over to the beautiful island of Anguilla. Thanks to Hurricane Irene, our time on Anguilla was cut a little short, but we finally got there and once again, found ourselves in Caribbean paradise! Anguilla and St. Barths are two very different island experiences, despite being so close to each other.

As soon as we stepped off the ferry from St. Marteen, we were immediately surrounded by a Caribbean vibe. Everyone is so happy and friendly, and gives you a warm welcome to their beautiful island. If you are looking for the quintessential Caribbean island escape, Anguilla is the place for you.

Anguilla has everything you could want in a beach destination: gorgeous beaches, laid-back atmosphere, friendly locals, & delicious food, and Anguilla has all of these things nailed. The island is only 34 square miles, but there 30+ beaches on the island, all with white sand and crystal clear warm water in every shade of turquoise you can think of. The island also has over 70 delicious restaurants ranging from Asian-infused cuisine to scrumptious creole creations.

And the people! I don’t think we ran into a single person without a smile on their face! Everyone was so warm and welcoming and the locals make you feel so comfortable and at home on the island. Now that I think about it, I don’t see how anyone can be unhappy on that island!

I am so excited about another week of Caribbean excellence, so be sure and stay tuned to hear more about the best beaches, hotels, and restaurants on Anguilla!
