I was recently on one of my annual (or Bi-annual) trips to the British Virgin Islands. \u00a0This time I was there on the week-end and chose to visit one of the other Virgin Islands : The island of Anegada. Contrary to most of the BVI which are essentially mountain pinnacles sticking out of the water, Anegada is like Cayman and almost perfectly flat.<\/p>\n

Getting to Anegada from Tortola, the main island is either via ferry or small plane. \u00a0We opted for small plane since we were only there for a day and as such were able to maximize time exploring the island.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Clearly a very small place. \u00a0Here is the airport “terminal”. \u00a0No fences, guards or metal detectors to be seen!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The flight from Tortola is only 10 minutes. I was told that if asked nicely, the pilot will do a slight flight path modification to do a fly over Necker Island. \u00a0Necker Island is the island the belongs to British Billionaire Richard Branson. A lovely place. \u00a0Anyway, as you can see by the pic below, the pilot accepted to take the extra 2-minutes (seriously) and show us Necker!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once on-site, the best way to get around is via scooter. \u00a0For this trip i’m joined by one of my Quebecois friends who lives in the BVI.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Only a about three hundred people live on Anegada. \u00a0But, there are also a number of donkeys and cows. \u00a0I liked these the best – the young donkey was quite cute.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And of course the beach. \u00a0 Since this was out of main tourist season, the beach was essentially deserted. \u00a0What a sight it was – so lovely. \u00a0Water was warm and we had some cold beer. \u00a0Not bad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the other side of the island, there are some very low lying sand flats. \u00a0Here you can walk out many hundreds of feet out to the sea. Very neat experience being far from shore, yet being only in less than 2ft of water.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So there you have it – a quick trip to an island in the Caribbean many people have never heard of. \u00a0 I very much enjoyed my day. \u00a0Its always nice to visit these “almost uninhabited” islands, not unlike Little Cayman.<\/p>\n
