Anguilla

Well known among the well-to-do, Anguilla is a favorite getaway for those really looking to get away. Don't expect mega-resorts on this isle; it is definitely for travelers looking to discover their own fun.

This tiny island is the king of the Caribbean beach world, a mecca for beach buffs in search of that perfect stretch of sand. Although only 16 miles from end to end and little more than 35 square miles in all, the island packs in over 30 beaches and numerous nearby cays to tempt sunlovers, snorkelers, sailors, scuba divers, and those just looking for a good beach walk or hike. A few beaches bustle with activity but most are quiet and interruption-free, just pristine boundaries between land and sea. Anguilla also boasts a high safety factor.

All this safety and seclusion does come at a price, however. The island aims for the upper market traveler, one who is not shocked by three figure dinner tabs.
