It’s amazing that such a teeny speck of a Caribbean island in the BWI (British West Indies), a mere 35 square miles, could have so much sand!

And I don’t just mean that we saw the 33 Anguilla beaches.

We walked them.

We swam, snorkeled, and snoozed on them.

Of course, we photographed every one of those spectacular Anguilla beaches…”

I cannot take credit for writing the above  – wish I could! I recently came across this site and had to share it with you.  This site is jam packed with some great information and amazing photos from a family who lives in Anguilla and has enjoyed all 33 beaches.  If you are planning a trip to Anguilla you MUST visit this website!

Facts about Shoal Bay:
Anguilla is a flat, low-lying island of coral and limestone in the Caribbean Sea, east of Puerto Rico. The soil is generally thin and poor, supporting only scrub vegetation. Anguilla is noted for its spectacular and ecologically important coral reefs.

Apart from the main island of Anguilla itself, the territory includes a number of other smaller islands and cays, mostly tiny and uninhabited. Some of these are: Anguillita, Dog Island, Prickly Pear Cays, Scrub Island, Seal Island, Sombrero, also known as Hat Island and Sandy Island.

Anguilla has a tropical though rather dry climate, moderated by northeast trade winds. Temperatures vary little throughout the year. Average daily maxima range from about 27 °C (80 °F) in December to 30 °C (86 °F) in July. Rainfall is erratic, averaging about 90 cm (35 in) per year, the wettest months being September and October, and the driest February and March. Anguilla is vulnerable to hurricanes from June to November, peak season August to mid-October.

Anguilla is served by Wallblake Airport. Services connect to various other Caribbean islands, but the airport cannot receive large jets and there are no direct flights to or from continental America or Europe. Regular ferries link Anguilla and the neighboring island of Saint Martin, with a journey time of about twenty minutes. Aside from taxis, there is no public transport on the island. Cars drive on the left.

Today most people in Anguilla speak a British-influenced variety of “Standard” English. Other languages are also spoken on the island, including varieties of Spanish, Chinese and the languages of other immigrants. However, the most common language other than Standard English is the island’s own English-lexifier Creole language (not to be confused with French Creole spoken in islands such as Haiti, Martinique, and Guadeloupe). It is referred to locally by terms such as “dialect” (pronounced “dialec”), or “Anguillian”. It has its main roots in early varieties of English and West African languages, and is similar to the dialects spoken in English-speaking islands throughout the Eastern Caribbean.
