Anguilla : Profile

Facts

• Anguilla is a British Dependent Territory, and the most northerly island of the Leeward Island chain. Nearest neigbour to the south is St. Martin/Sint Maarten.

• The main attraction of Anguilla is her isolation and although distances to neighbouring Caribbean islands are very small, the changes that have occurred elsewhere have largely left Anguilla untouched. There are several delightful bays both on the south and north coasts of Anguilla, while those in search of blissful solitude can do no better than the Prickly Pear Cays and Dog Island, north of Anguilla.

• Yachting facilities are very basic and for any major repair one must go to neighbouring St Martin.

• Dress Code is casual, in good taste. (Short-shorts, bikinis, bra-type tops and topless in both men and women are undesirable in public places; nude and topless swimming and/or sunbathing are not permitted.)

Weather

Semi-tropical, dry but pleasant. Average temperature of 27°C (80°F).
