Anegada Island

Overview

Anegada Island is the northernmost of the British Virgin Islands, known for its stunning white-sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, and the world's third-largest barrier reef. It's a haven for snorkeling, diving, and relaxation.

Anegada is unique for its coral and limestone base, unlike the other volcanic islands of the BVI. It's also a critical habitat for various marine species and birds, including the endangered Anegada rock iguana.
