Travel Diary: Anguilla

In the Eastern Caribbean lies the small island of Anguilla along with its several offshore islets. Renowned for its spectacular and ecologically significant coral reefs and beaches, Anguilla may be the perfect paradise for ocean and nature lovers alike. Every one of its 33 beaches are uncrowded and seemingly untouched, and every cove, bay, and stretch of sand is marked by unique characteristics. Anguilla is a true Caribbean gem with friendly locals and authentic island vibes.
