Now, What to do?

Anguilla is known for being laid-back and relaxing, one of the reasons I chose it. Once, while I was talking to someone about Anguilla this person said "Sounds like there's nothing to do.", and I said "Exactly!" I also remember showing pictures to a friend on my return and she asked me "Where are the people?"

Of course, there are plenty of things to keep you busy, if you're looking to be entertained. You can hike, or if you stay someplace like Cap Juluca you can bike (they have bikes for their patrons). Lots of people take snorkling trips to Little Bay, some like to go fishing. There are quite a few private charter boats available on the island for different adventures. Take a sunset cruise. There is horseback riding and miniature golf. You can visit the Pyrat Rum Factory for a tour and tasting. Visit the local museum and the Wallblake House and learn some of the history of the island and it's indigenous people, the Arawaks. Wander through one of the many art galleries. Cuisinart offers various cooking classes and also gives tours of it's hydroponic greenhouses. You can take a tour across the island. The tourism board will be able to give you advice on a good tour guide.

Of course with 33 brilliant white sand beaches to explore that could take up an entire vacation all by itself!
