Tours & Activities in Anguilla

Anguilla is one of the few Caribbean islands that has never experienced a direct hit from a major hurricane, making it unusually safe from storm damage.

The island was originally inhabited by the Arawak people and later settled by English colonists in 1650, giving it a distinctly British colonial heritage still visible today.

Anguilla's Shoal Bay East consistently ranks among the world's best beaches, with calm turquoise waters and powdery white sand stretching for nearly 2 miles.

The island is home to over 300 species of birds, including the national bird, the Zenaida dove, despite Anguilla covering only 35 square miles.

Anguilla remained under direct British rule longer than most Caribbean islands, only gaining self-governance in 1980, and still uses the East Caribbean dollar.

Fresh lobster is so abundant and central to Anguillian culture that the island hosts an annual Lobster Festival every August, celebrating the traditional fishing season.
