What’s not to love about a Caribbean island with twelve miles of 33 powdery, white sand beaches on the coast of both the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean Sea?  The luxury accommodations on the island are all within minutes of the picturesque temperate turquoise waters where you can sunbathe and swim on the near-private beaches.  With more than 70 restaurants on the island, Anguilla is also known for its delectable fine dining options.  You need to try the grilled lobster or fresh conch when in Anguilla—it’s a local fav—and be sure to check out the multiple eateries that fuse Caribbean food with French and Asian influences.  At night, watch the sunset with your sweetie while on sand that looks and feels like powdered sugar.  And while you’re at it, you might as well have some fun, some rum and a little bit of reggae on your Caribbean getaway.
