Anegada
The BVI's only coral island, with long white sand beaches, horseshoe reef snorkeling and wild flamingos. Famous for its lobster feasts.
Anegada is the flattest and northernmost of the BVI's coral limestone islands. Its highest point is only about 8 meters above sea level. The Horseshoe Reef that surrounds it is one of the largest coral reefs in the Caribbean and the graveyard of hundreds of shipwrecks. The north shore beaches of Loblolly Bay and Cow Wreck Beach are quiet and have clear water, making them excellent for snorkeling close to shore. Reintroduced Caribbean flamingos live in the island's salt ponds. Grilled local lobster is the signature dish. Ferries from Road Town take about 1.5 hours and run several times a week, or you can take a small plane. Visitors can make it a day trip or stay overnight.
