ANEGADA
in the beautiful BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS

Return to Virgin Island home page

Deserted beaches on the west and north shores, Anegada

14 miles north of Gorda Sound, this large flat coral island is only
28 feet above sea level at its highest point and surrounded
by reefs, so is unlike any of the other volcanic islands in The Virgins.

Flamingos live in its creeks and marshes.  There are miles of
deserted beaches that allow you a chance to be on your own.

The island used to be off limits to most bareboaters unless
part of a flotilla because of the Anagada Reef, but this is
no longer true.

There are some great dive sites for the more experienced divers
and excellent snorkeling inside the reefs. In Loblolly Bay, there
is a really good restaurant serving a lunch that includes their
fresh fish.  The anchorage has a few beachfront restaurants
that serve (among other items) the famous Anegada lobster. 

Be sure to watch the sun set, in a huge orange ball directly
over the water.
