Professor Beach checking out Little Bay in Anguilla


If you are looking for a more exclusive and private beaches, Anguilla is the place!   The white sand beaches and turquoise water, as well as beautiful weather year round with temperatures ranging between 80-86 degree, make this a great place to visit.  Uncrowded beaches, water sports and a spectacular coral reef are just a few reasons to visit for relaxing and unwinding.

The best activities to take part in are scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing, fishing, charter boats and water sports.  One can also take day trips to St. Maarten and St. Barts.  There are  more then 80 species of birds, so bird watching is another great activity.  Other land activities include hiking, bike riding and horseback riding.

Anguilla is a British overseas territory, one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles.  It consists of the main island of Anguilla which is approximately 26 km (16 miles) long by 5 km (3 miles) wide at its widest point. If you are seeking a special, romantic getaway on a small island, gifted with 33 of the best beaches in the Caribbean, this could be the island you are looking for.

Yes, there are 33 beaches, each one super in their own way. They range from the really serene Little Harbor to the wild Windward Bay, from the popular East Shoal Bay & Rendezvous Bay.  And don’t forget Maunday’s Bay, Shoal Bay West and Cove Bay for starters.

You can view my photos and see more videos in a new blog about my visit to Shoal Bay

It was fun meeting Bankie Banx.  He is Anguilla’s reggae  star and local real estate mogul.  I met Bankie at the Dune Preserve in Rendezvous Bay.

We have heard that the rich and famous go to other Caribbean islands when they want to be seen, but they go to Anguilla to hide & disappear. You do not have to be rich and famous to vacation here.

Interesting – there are no chain stores or restaurants here – no franchises are allowed. This is a 100% genuine, tropical Caribbean island getaway. The shopping here is not great, but if shopping is on your agenda, a 20 minute ferry ride to St.Martin/St. Marteen is worth the ride.

Watch my video to see what I am talking about…

St. Kitts is the island above Nevis.   Charlestown in in the parish of St Paul Charlestown (see the red area in map below).
