Anegada is the northernmost of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), a group of islands that form part of the archipelago of the Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Known for its flat and low-lying geography, Anegada is distinct from the mountainous profiles of other islands in the BVI. It is the only inhabited island of the BVI that is formed from coral and limestone, rather than being of volcanic origin. Anegada is often referred to as the "Drowned Island" because its elevation is so low. The island is famous for its Horseshoe Reef, the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean, and the fourth largest on earth, which teems with marine life and is a magnet for snorkelers and scuba divers. The island's secluded, white sandy beaches, such as Cow Wreck Beach and Loblolly Beach, offer miles of shoreline for relaxation and are often sparsely populated, providing a sense of privacy and escape. Anegada is also known for its wildlife, including the Anegada rock iguana and the flamingo population that resides in the salt ponds located on the island. The island's sparse population and remote location contribute to a tranquil, laid-back atmosphere that is perfect for those looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of busier tourist destinations. The local cuisine often features fresh seafood, with lobster being a specialty, and visitors can enjoy the catch of the day at small, family-run establishments. Despite its remote feel, Anegada has a small airstrip and is accessible by ferry, making it a unique and off-the-beaten-path destination for travelers seeking an authentic Caribbean experience.
