Anguilla (English pronunciation ang-GWILL-ah, IPA: /æŋˈɡwɪlə/) is a British overseas territory in the British West Indies of the Caribbean, one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles. It consists of the main island of Anguilla itself, approximately 26 km (16 miles) long by 5 km (3 miles) wide at its widest point, together with a number of much smaller islands and cays with no permanent population. The island's capital is The Valley. The total land area of the territory is 102 km² (39.4 square miles), with a population of approximately 13,500 (2006 estimate). Anguilla is the quintessential beach destination for CT&L readers--as well as its editors. We're not big fans of blaring boomboxes, buzzing waterbikes and naked volleyball. Featured Drink: Pumphouse Rum Punch - Anguilla Anguilla is a curious mix of simplicity and luxury. The pulse of the island is slow and casual by day, while the nights segue into sophistication. Some of Anguilla's more popular beaches. Maunday's Bay is just one of the beautiful beaches on Anguilla. Bankie Banx' bar, the Dune Preserve in Anguilla. Consider the fact that Anguilla has five times as many beaches as traffic lights and you'll start to get an idea of what an ocean lover's paradise this British dependency really is.
