Anguilla is a flat and low-lying island of coral and limestone located in the Carribean sea to the north of St Maarten. Anguilla is small and secluded and boasts pristine, powdery beaches and 19km of white coral coastline. Anguilla also comprises Sombrero, and numerous other smaller islands and cays, which are even more secluded. Surrounded by blue skies and vivid blue ocean, many call Anguilla “tranquility wrapped in blue”.
Diving is popular in Anguilla as there are seven marine parks around the islands and a number of wrecks to explore. Deep sea fishing, parasailing, waterskiing and windsurfing are also available on the island. There is also an active arts community with 15 galleries dotted around the island.
