Much has been said about Anguilla's beaches but words, no matter the author, cannot do justice to the actual experience. What most people hear about is the brilliantly white sand that is found on beaches which impress in breath and length in areas such as Shoal Bay East and Maunday's Bay. However, what I found to be just as attractive was the sugar-grain sand at Mead's Bay which in some areas was speckled with pink and yellow or in the southern corner of Savannah Bay where the sand is as pink as the beaches in some parts of the Bahamas, world renowned for it's "Pink Sand" beaches.  Separated by a few feet from Savannah Bay  is an area known as Little Bay,  known by East-Enders for the sea life found in the corals and reefs in the area.  

Fishing has always been apart of the life of the inhabitants of Anguilla, from Arawak to African and European.  Beaches such as Island Harbour, Sile Bay, Sandy Hill, and The Cove are some areas where you'll find locally built fishing boats which work diligently in support of their owners.

Sandy Ground is the official port of Entry to Anguilla for foreign boats and trading ships as well as being a fishing port and boat racing arena. At any point, one will find a beautiful array of vessels in the harbour.  Views from South Hill are beautiful with the Road Pond and North Hill in the background while views from North Hill offer South Hill and St. Martin as a backdrop.

August 01 - August 10 and a few other days in the year some of the beaches become home to a passionate sport that resembles regattas in that boats race, but are truly best termed "Anguillian Boat Races". Passion, strange rules, and fights to the finish at sea, while hundreds walk the beaches eating drinking, talking,  laughing  and just having fun is truly a wonderful experience.
