Like the sun, they say that if you stare long enough at an Anguilla beach, you'll go blind. And while that may or may not be true, much of the sand here is so white that prolonged exposure is sure to cause some kind of temporary retinal damage at the very least. The peaceful beaches of Anguilla island are something of an anomaly in the Caribbean – beautiful beaches that are consistently deserted, even during the high season. While many flock to the more standard spots – Jamaica, the Virgin Islands, Aruba – true Caribbean aficionados know that the best place to get a beach all to yourself is on tiny Anguilla island.

In 1493, Christopher Columbus sighted the island and named it for its eel-like shape: Anguilla means "eel" in Spanish. No attempt was made to colonize it, probably because it was controlled by the notoriously fierce, warlike Caribs, who knew the island as Malliouhana, the Carib word for eel. The Caribs, a tribe of cannibals, had captured the island from the peaceful Arawak tribe and had completely eradicated them, not only from Anguilla but ... from the entire Caribbean.

As most in Anguilla know, the 7.3 mag. earthquake was felt here, but based on the depth of the quake, there are no tsunami warnings. So far no damage reports from the Caribbean, but expect damage in Martinique, maybe a few cracked walls here.
