Welcome to Anguilla

updated - March 20, 2012

US and Canadian visitors will appreciate the British heritage of Anguilla electronically (110vac) and linguistically (English). Once politically associated with Nevis and St Kitts, this island of the Leeward Islands is long and narrow (Anguilla is Spanish for eel), and is exactly what you're looking for if upscale and unspoiled are your thing.

Many of the islands 33 beautiful stretches of beach are secluded (although nude swimming and sunbathing is not allowed) and feature stunningly clear water - perfect for snorkeling and diving.  

So, welcome to the tropical paradise of Anguilla, an island nation located in Leeward Islands of the Caribbean.
