Sightseeing in Anguilla
This really has 2 parts: sightseeing on Anguilla, and going to visit nearby islands...
|
On Anguilla
There are all sorts of little places to visit in Anguilla. There are some fascinating old churches, the Heritage Collection Museum and some delightful art galleries, to name a few. Anguilla's natural beauty is all around you and from the west to the east you can see the birdlife, the stunning beaches, and just soak it all in (and glimpse the odd goat or two wandering about!). Taking a tour around Anguilla is the best way to appreciate the laid-back tranquility of the island whether it be by car, bike or on horseback.

Visiting nearby islands...
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, cafés, 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.
