The Ferryboat Inn and Restaurant

There are so many wonderful things "to do" in our peaceful, relaxed Anguilla. Quite a few of them involve the beach - you can go swimming, sailing, scuba diving, kite surfing, fishing and horseback riding.  Visit our local art galleries, museums, or go on a historical tour.  Collect our various stamps. Spend time beach-combing for shells and beach glass. Enjoy our special pond and marsh environments including a wide variety of birds.

Experience water sports, kite surfing, surfing, scuba diving, boating... and so much more... Learn to kite surf with Tropical Paradise.

Check and see if there is a cricket match to watch. Often there is a game on Sunday at the field near the Blowing Point Ferry.

Or, just relax on the beach at Sandy Point (just down from Ferryboat Inn) and watch the sunset. Lucky is no longer with us, but he leaves testimony that the sunsets can be  wonderful.
