Snorkellers and scuba divers will delight in the reef’s mazes, tunnels and drops, which are rich in needlefish, bonefish, stingrays, parrotfish and other marine life, while those with sea legs will enjoy water sports, sport fishing and bone
fishing. Beachgoers will find no lack of calm and quiet shores, including Loblolly Bay, Pomato Point, Keel Point, Bones Bight, Windlass Bight and Cow Wreck. Discover Anegada’s history through a maze of stone walls that surround the main town’s, Settlement or the ancient Arawak conch shell mounds in the East End. Or explore the wreckages of numerous Spanish galleons, American privateers and British Galleons.
T he only coral island in the Virgin Islands’ volcanic chain, Anegada is characterised by its nearly flat elevation, the striking coral reefs that surround it, secluded sandy beaches and clear springs bubbling from coral beds.

Anegada Rock Iguana Head Start Facility Anegada is home to a rare and endangered species of iguana, the Anegada Rock Iguanas. The BVI National Parks Trust with the help of donations and international funding maintains the facility to raise juvenile iguana until they grow to a size where they can be successfully released into the wild. Conch Shell Mounds Anegada fishermen have carried on the tradition of piling conch shells up in the water in areas away from where the conch is found, just like the original inhabitants of the island, centuries ago. Some of these mounds rise up to 12 feet out of the water, attracting a variety of marine life including fish, turtles and sting rays. Take a guided tour out to these magnificent spectacles. Faulkner House Museum Opened in 2015, this museum was once the home of the Late Honourable Theodolph H. Faulkner. He was a fisherman and political activist who was one of the leaders in the fight for the restoration of the legislature in the BVI. The house showcases typical furniture of the day along with interesting artifacts and imagery of Anegada and the BVI.
