Lobster is the first thing you notice. It’s everywhere, on every menu, on the sign, on some places, right on the dock. This is part of the identity of the Caribbean island of Anegada, where reptile crustaceans are part of the life tapestry. It is undoubtedly the Caribbean lobster capital.
Then you look around and see white sand. White The sand is so white that you can squint from the transparent line. Ride your lightweight down the road and you’ll find some of the most breathtaking, pristine, just right beaches you’ve ever imagined, some just Sandy Crescent’s Slivers, some of them beloved little beach bars with British Virgin Islands’ famous painkillers.
The only way to get to Anegada commercially is by ferry from Tortola or Virgin Gorda (usually around $55 round trip). Otherwise, it will rent a boat or plane. Not surprisingly, this is far from any Caribbean island you know, even far from the rest of the BVI you may have experienced. This is different. It is Wonderful.
There are only a few small hotels, such as the Anegada reef, or have glittering tents Anegada Beach Club, Or the truly lovely Loblly Beach Lodge is located on the northern end of the island, one of the few colorful bungalows on the edge of one of the best beaches in the world. ($225 room)
You will find that these toes are a professional on this Caribbean island. Actually, the tour recipe here is very simple: beautiful beaches and beach bars plus unlimited lobsters and bungalows. This is actually a science.
Anegada is only 15 square miles and has a town (a village indeed), a settlement with a population of less than 500 people. If you really want to get into tourist mode, there is a botanical garden there. But the story here is rhythm, rhythm, feeling.
In any case, you will find something more adorable and charming. They call it the beach bar of Big Bamboo. The legendary watering holes, called the Bull Wreck, are home to the shipwreck punch (unless you have tried one, they won’t allow you to leave the island, or at least shouldn’t). Weird dog. The scene of the seaside potter (the first thing you see when you go down the ferry). Lobster Trap. this Anegada Reef Hotel (USD 224 per night in the room).
For the Caribbean Islands I visited, this is something deeply rooted in my memory.
You feel noble about everything here when you look around and put it all into practice.
Then, you noticed that it wasn’t here. Towering resort. bus. Restaurant chain. noise. It’s quiet, original, perfect. It is Anegada.
This is the island you think of, when mercury drops, when you curate the escape from the end of the movie.
This is only not a fantasy. It actually exists.
To get to Anegada you need Fly to Tortola (Now, American Airlines flights from Miami to Tortola are now roundtrip for $691. You can also fly to San Juan and head to Virgin Gorda or Tortola Tradewind Aviation.
