This little paradise lies in the North of the Lesser Antilles. It is extremely flat and vegetation is sparse. Anguilla has more than 30 bays and some of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, all of which are public beaches. The island has a resident population of 8,000 and its capital, "The Valley" is a quaint and pretty little town with a couple of shops. Anguilla also has many archaeological sites, some of which have remained largely unspoiled by the passage of time.
