Island Harbour: Anguilla
Island Harbour extends along a sheltered bay on Anguilla’s northeastern coast, where reefs and nearby cays have sustained a small fishing settlement. The Caribbean Sea defines this low-lying limestone island, whose shore alternates between shallow reef water, small beaches and rocky points. Island Harbour remains one of Anguilla’s principal fishing communities, with a waterfront linked to the island’s boat-building and seafaring traditions. Each Easter, Festival Del Mar celebrates that maritime heritage through boat races, fishing contests, food and music. Scilly Cay, a tiny offshore cay within the harbour, adds to the distinctly marine character of this corner of Anguilla.

Shaped by a low coral-limestone island and a seafaring economy, Anguilla developed into a British Overseas Territory in the northeastern Caribbean. The island lies east of Puerto Rico and north of Saint Martin, with the Anguilla Channel separating it from the latter. Shoal Bay and other white-sand shores frame clear, shallow waters, while salt ponds and scrubby vegetation mark the drier interior. Boat racing remains central to public celebrations, and the annual Anguilla Summer Festival brings music and carnival events.
