Anegada
Anegada Cruising Guide
Anegada is the odd one out — and all the better for it. While the rest of the BVI is volcanic and mountainous, Anegada is a flat coral atoll barely 28 feet at its highest point, ringed by Horseshoe Reef, the third-largest barrier reef in the Caribbean.
The beaches are the draw: Loblolly Bay and Cow Wreck Beach are long, empty stretches of white sand and shallow turquoise water, with a beach bar or two and little else. Inland salt ponds are home to a resident flock of pink flamingos.
And then there’s the lobster. Fresh Anegada spiny lobster, grilled over open flame at the beach restaurants, is a bucket-list BVI dinner. With a captain aboard, the tricky reef approach that keeps many bareboats away is simply part of the day’s sail.
