Travel to Anguilla This Summer
Beautiful Beaches and a Vibrant Local Scene Are Some of the Draws of This Tiny Island Nation
That's not to say that all the Anguilla has is its culture, though. Beach lovers will fall in love with the island, as well. At first sight, the beaches are some of the most spectacular in the world. They have instant curb appeal with beautiful white sand and the clear water that all tourists seem to covet. The beaches are often times not as populated as the beaches on surrounding islands. Some of the ones that you'll want to make sure to hit are Captain's Bay in the Northeast and Barnes Bay on the western part of the island. Captain's Bay provides a measure of peaceful isolation. The beauty of the clear water crashing against the white sand is enough to send you into peace sleep for a long time. Barnes Bay, on the other hand, is the best place to have fun with water sports. There, travelers will find excellent opportunities for windsurfing and snorkeling.
When you retreat from the beaches, you should be greeted by a host of other things to do with your time. Each of them offers something a little bit different, but each incorporates Anguillan culture at its finest. Most folks like to dine in at least one of the island's excellent restaurants. The restaurants of Anguilla have gained international acclaim in recent years because the quality of food is wonderful to go along with a Caribbean ambiance that is somewhat unmatched elsewhere in the area. The restaurant scene offers a good mix of elegance and some casual dining options for the times when you just want to relax.
The music scene in Anguilla is another reason to head to the island. It's different that what travelers might find in a place like the Bahamas, but has its own flare. The rhythmic Reggae tones will draw you in and have you dancing, even if you don't dance. Some local string bands are sure to be playing at every stop along the way in order to provide live entertainment.
If you're looking for a more laid back option for your Caribbean experience, then Anguilla might be your place. It has the same beauty as some of the more popular spots, but offers an intimacy that is unmatched anywhere else in the Caribbean.
If you enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean with a nice local cultural scene, then head to this island. There, the life is a little more laid back and the local musical scene is enough to make travelers not want to go home.
