Anguilla
Caribbean Cruise Anguilla and it's Multitude of White Sand Coves – Leeward Islands
Columbus thought this long flat island with its multitude of white sand coves looked like an undulating eel, so he named it Anguilla. The island has been a British colony/dependency since it was first settled in 1650. Except for a few half-hearted attempts at invasion by the French during the 18th century, the world has pretty much ignored Anguilla. Recently, Anguilla has been discovered by a few cruise ships, who find the island's small upscale resorts an ideal retreat to get away from it all.
