Travel Guide > Caribbean > Anguilla
Though quite small, Anguilla has made a name for itself as a fashionable, luxurious Caribbean destination. Fantastic snorkelling, diving and swimming opportunities, offered by some of the Caribbean's finest beaches, are Anguilla's prime attractions. Travellers can enjoy trips to nearby deserted islets, the waters of which are beautified by amazing coral structures. Being within a ferry ride's distance of populous St Martin, Anguilla is perfectly suitable as a day trip from that island, but Anguilla's fine aquatic treasures make it an excellent destination for those in search of a short, relaxing holiday.
Apart from the main island, Anguilla, there are numerous smaller islands, many uninhabited.
Some of these are:
Planes depart and arrive in Anguilla Wallblake Airport (AXA). Trans Anguilla is an air charter serving most destinations in the Caribbean between the British Virgin Islands and Trinidad and Tobago. Other airlines which fly to and from Anguilla are Leeward Islands Air Transport (LIAT) to Antigua and St. Thomas in the United States Virgin Islands, Winair (Windward Islands Airways) to Sint Maarten and Antigua, Coastal Air to Saint Barthélemy and American Eagle to San Juan on Puerto Rico.
In season, ferries operated by the Anguilla Ferry System run between the islands of Anguilla and Saint Martin. They leave daily between 7am and 7pm roughly every 20 minutes between Blowing Point (Anguilla) and Marigot on the French part of St. Maarten/St. Martin.
