Situated just north of the significantly busier St. Maarten, Anguilla is a quiet island paradise that awes its visitors with some of the finest beaches in the Caribbean. Although this destination is not as accessible as other Caribbean islands, the journey is certainly worth the effort. Although arrival options include both air and sea, many travelers choose to travel to Anguilla by air. Indeed, visitors traveling from Europe and much of North America have few other options. Wallblake Airport, located in the center of the island, receives air traffic from neighboring Caribbean islands, but does not receive planes traveling directly from North America or Europe. Travelers from these locations must make connections on islands such as Puerto Rico and St. Maarten in order to reach Anguilla. Most tourists can stay on the island for up to three months without a visa. Caribbean cruises allow travelers to see Anguilla while also experiencing several other islands, such as Jost van Dyke or Guadeloupe. Travelers who want to visit Anguilla, but who would also like to visit destinations that have more opportunities for shopping and other activities, may wish to travel by cruise. While St. Maarten to the south is a bustling cruise port, Anguilla does not see a large number of cruise vessels call at Blowing Point Harbor. Vessels that do travel to the island tend to be smaller and provide travelers with luxury cruise experiences. Upon disembarking, cruise passengers can visit one of the island's many beaches or sample some of the fine international cuisine. Sailing is the final option for traveling to Anguilla and can be perfect for adventurous and independent travelers. The island has two ports of entry, Blowing Point Harbor and Road Bay, and several beautiful offshore islands. Inexperienced sailors can charter boats that have fully trained crews, while seasoned seafarers can charter a boat to sail by themselves. Regardless of experience, however, sailors should be careful of rough waters and strong trade winds. Sailing in the Leeward Islands is popular, with a number of fabled ports and islands to welcome travelers. The quiet beauty of Anguilla is sure to please sailors who anchor here. Although Anguilla is under the radar of many Caribbean tourists, travelers who do make their way to the island will have the memory of its stunning beaches etched into their minds. Related Articles
