Anguilla: Leeward Islands
built 657 days ago
The only thing that out numbers the beaches on Anguilla is the restaurants. There are somewhere between 60 and 80 of them. From beach bars serving up burgers, fish sandwiches and BBQ, to a restaurant that sits on it's own island a stones-throw from shore, pizza joints, road side food stands, bakeries, gourmet carry-outs, local restaurants and 5 star fine dining, Anguilla has something to satisfy every appetite.

The island, formerly called by the Carib name Malliouhana, got the Spanish name Anguilla because of its ‘eel-like’ shape. It was inhabited by Arawaks for several centuries before being colonised in 1650 by English settlers coming from St Kitts, after which it was administered by the English as part of the Leeward Islands colony. It has remained a British territory ever since.
