Touring Anegada can be toured in a day. Be prepared for the sun as there is virtually no shade on Anegada. To begin, make a big circle around the salt ponds on the western half of the island.This is a beautiful drive. Turn in or pull out the "harbour" area by the Anegada Reef Hotel for food or drinks. This is an honor bar, so serve yourself and pay accordingly. Look for the covey of sandpipers do their little hurried walks, sometimes around the seating floor. They like to hang out on the transom of the hotel's power boat. Take a mini tour of the docks. Continuing past the turnoff, you will find this to be a very scenic route, and very smooth and a delight to drive, winding between the beaches and the salt ponds. The old road (the vegetation tends to scratch vehicles) to Cow Wreck Bay is the next left at a large seagrape tree. Bones Bight has a new nature trail (watch for a large loblolly tree on right) where it's occasionally possible to see the Anegada rock iguana. Loblolly Bay is reached by turning right out of the Anegada "Harbour" or out of the airport. Go straight to the Big Bamboo. Mac's Campground and Flash of Beauty restaurant (call first) have turnoffs to the right. All are on Loblolly Bay. Loblolly Bay is a great location for beachcombing, especially shell collecting. A beautiful beach plant here is the bay lavendar, which grows in patches and is feathery to the touch. At the Big Bamboo, put your order in with Diane before you go snorkeling. Also, try out the hammocks under the shade of the sea grapes after you've eaten. Head back out to take another side trip to The Settlement.
