But, I also want to share the experience - totally vital and exhilarating, with great nightlife (try Johnno's or Banky Banx's bar near Cuisinart as well as the bars down on Shoal Bay), yet at the same time completely laid-back, perfect for chilling, recharging ... ...Ernie's BBQ bar at Shoal Bay ($2 for red stripe/pina colada).

I'm in two minds about whether to write this review. I loved Anguilla so much - and loved the fact that it's so little known amongst western tourists- that I'm tempted to keep it to myself. But, I also want to share the experience - totally vital and exhilarating, with great nightlife (try Johnno's or Banky Banx's bar near Cuisinart as well as the bars down on Shoal Bay), yet at the same time completely laid-back, perfect for chilling, recharging and preparing yourself for the next evening's sundowners at Uncle Ernie's BBQ bar at Shoal Bay ($2 for red stripe/pina colada). Eating out can be expensive - unless you're happy to stick to a diet of barbecued ribs and chicken wings. One top tip to avoid having to pay extortionate beachbar prices for lunch (unless you eat at Ernie's -the central hub of the island with its continuous reggae soundtrack and fabulously relaxed vibe) is to go to the French bakery at Island Harbour to pick up very reasonably priced sandwiches, which are made to order, and fresh croissants and patisseries... You really need a car if you want to be able to appreciate the island to the max - there are over a hundred beautiful deserted beaches and coves but they are spread out over the island. Having said that, it is one of the smallest islands in the Carribean - only 11 miles long and 1 mile wide. THe best way to reach Anguilla is to take the boat from St Martin. This is cheap - only a few US $ and only takes 20 minutes. Otherwise, you can fly from San Juan. No major international airlines fly to Anguilla, which is one of its attractions - it might be a hassle to get there - but that means less people will bother, so an undiscovered paradise island awaits you....
Advantages: Very small and quite quiet great carnival Disadvantages: taxes are very hight there
Anguilla is one of the leeward islands of the west indies. Its neighbouring islands are St. Martin/ St Mareeten, St Bartholemey and Saba. Anguilla is part of th BWI (British West Indies). The hotels at Anguilla are stunning and beautiful i stayed at the luxiorious Cap Juluca. I got great service there. Iam extremely lucky that i have relatives in Anguilla or i would of had to pay a fortune things are so expenssive but that is were St Martin makes ... ...easy to get to from Anguilla by ferry which costs $10. Things at st martin are tax free so most things are at low prices. St Martin is great for shopping for jewelerry and clothes. Ok back to Anguilla. anguilla has 33 white sand and light blue water beaches and they are an experience not to miss out on. Shoal Bay was voted number 8 in the worlds top ten beaches last year and is stunning. In August is carnival week this is the best time to go to Anguilla ...

Advantages: Food ,local goods and beautiful scenery Disadvantages: expensive to get there
Anguilla is a beautiful part of the world ,which boasts spectacular scenery. It is also reasonably priced,as it has been relatively untouched by the modern world.There are plenty of goods to buy,leather and local honey are amongst the best bargains. It is however expensive to travel there as internal flights are needed. Don't miss out on the local hand rolled cigars which are very cheap and I strongly suggest that you bring some home. This has to ...
