I've been going to Anguilla for years, each time it gets better and better. My family and I love it

[anguillabeaches]

We've been living in Anguilla for 8 years. This 36 hour review (love the whole series!) catches the spirit of our adopted home wonderfully.

My family is from/lives on this island. So much better to experience the island when you have the opportunity to stay for free with family...and i advise flying into St. Martin and taking the ferry across to Anguilla. Its significantly cheaper than flying directly into Anguilla.

Can someone tell me which beach on Anguilla is least waves flatter and shallow. I can’t swim and need to be touching the ground when I am in the water.

I went to the closest neighboring island, Antigua. Despite the Americans mispronounciation of Antigua it is actually pronounced by locals as ‘Ann-Tee-Ga. NOT the tourists ‘Ant-ee-gwa.’ That said, Antigua is approximately 10 x 10 square miles or 100 square miles with 365 DIFFERENT BEACHES!!! I think it is also lesser known that Princess Diana, when living, loved to bring her boys to vacation in Antigua because of the immense private feel. When I was there, the police did not even have ‘a’ car..and if you needed the police, you would have to go pick them up; because the crime rate was so low. So beautiful, you could be on the beach one minute and 5 min later be in the mountains. As for Anguilla, there was not much on that island at least when I was there….a few resorts, a medical college/surgical college. Flew into San Juan PR and caught a final leg, small flight into Antigua. The taxi driver who picked us up and delivered us to the hotel said ‘hey, mon…if you don’t have a good time in Antigua you need to go see a head doctor when you return home….’ TRUER WORDS, NEVER SPOKEN. Beautiful place.

The island is a big elderly house. Save your money.
Don't get me wrong. It's a beautiful paradise and the food is amazing. It's just not for you unless you're 70 and above.

In various and different corners of the world, normal Muslims like you and I have started believing in Muhammad Qasim’s dreams. The dreams have now spread so far that journalists, scholars of Islam, and politicians are taking a serious notice of his dreams.
