Island Harbour
Island Harbour is a picturesque lobstering and fishing village on the northwest side of the Island. This calm, protected beach runs along the main road of Island Harbour fishing village. Colorful boats dance on their line in the turquoise sea. The beach is sandy and has some rocky areas. Island Harbour is home to Smitty’s Bar and Restaurant, the award-winning Hibernia restaurant, and interesting and charming Arawak Inn.

Little Harbour
Little Bay is located near Crocus Bay and the Valley, but it feels very secluded and is a favorite spot for boat excursions and snorkeling. Little Harbour is the most protected bay in Anguilla, but very shallow. We sailed our Laser sailboat here when we didn't know what we were doing and needed to practice tipping it over and righting it. The bottom is more like a lake bottom than the bright white sand of most bays.

Windward Point
Pack a lunch and take a hike along the rocky coast line of Windward Point or the long road that runs from North Side all the way to Island Harbour. At the far eastern tip of Anguilla is a small hill with panoramic views in all directions. This is Windward Point. earby Windward Point Beach is wild and exciting, being open to the Atlantic. While a little rough for swimming, it is great for exploring. Wear hiking boots and explore the eastern tip of the island. Climb the rock at the end of Anguilla and get an excellent view
Captains Bay
Captains Bay is on the north coast just before the eastern tip of the island. This quarter mile stretch of perfect white sand is bounded on the left by a rocky shoreline where Atlantic waves break spectacularly. There is one home, a large one, at this remote spot. we do not recommend swimming at Captains Bay: the surf can be dangerous (and never swim alone at a remote beach.)
Starting from the airport parking lot, take the only exit and turn left, then go straight past Island Rental Cars and the National Bank. Continue straight through the traffic
Caribbean : Anguilla
Anguilla Leeward Islands Coral island. 91 km2 (35 sq miles) in area, some 250 km (155 miles) east of Puerto Rico. The interior of the island is flat, dry and scrubby, pockmarked with salt ponds and devoid of dramatic scenery. Anguilla is one of the most paradise like islands in the Caribbean. The northernmost of the Leeward Islands, 145 miles east of Puerto Rico , the island is 16 miles long and 3 miles wide. However, this fact is largely ignored by an increasing stream of visitors who beat their way here for the glorious turquoise waters
