Sightseeing in Anguilla
|
This section can be divided into two parts: sightseeing on Anguilla and going to visit nearby islands. On Anguilla there are a number of places worth a visit. These can be divided into two parts: Buildings and areas around them, both old and new, of historical and cultural interest, and places of natural interest and beauty. A driving tour around Anguilla is the best way to see these places. Nearby islands offer a range of different things to see. St.Martin/St.Maarten, for example, offers a unique juxtaposition of French and Dutch cultures visible through their restaurants, cafs, architecture and shops. Both sides of the island have quite a different feel. Day trips are available to St. Barthelemy, a small island with a unique French/Swedish influence. Despite its diminutive size it has a very cosmopolitan air and the idyllic main town of Gustavia has a number of excellent restaurants and luxury item shops. Other off-island trips from Anguilla include day trips to nearby islands (Sandy Cay, Dog Island, Prickly Pear and Scilly Cay in Island Harbour) and cays. Luxury powerboats or catamarans offer all-inclusive cruises as well as an informal ferry service and these trips are the ultimate in peaceful isolation.
