Introducing Far East

After Shoal Bay East, the quiet eastern seascape is a narrowing strip of breezy coves dotted by casbah-like villas and hidden eateries. Island Harbour is a working fishing village, not a resort area, and its beach is lined with brightly colored fishing boats rather than chaise longues. There are another half-dozen semisecluded beaches in the area, of which Junk’s Hole is tops. This silent stretch of windswept sand gently forms a curving bay flanked by crooked palms – it’s the perfect place to live out your castaway fantasies.

Here you’ll find Heritage Museum, Anguilla’s only museum. It’s set within a small bungalow and details the island’s history through an impressive assortment of artifacts. Amble through the different rooms while experiencing a cleverly curated time line of events, from the settling of the ancient Arawaks to a recent visit from Queen Elizabeth II.
