ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Anguilla itself is a flat, dry, scrubby little island (pop. 7,500) that is still part of the United Kingdom. This is a coral-based island that is a perfect spot for snorkelers and scuba divers with water colors ranging from deep cobalt blue to turquoise green. Powerboats frequently make the 25-minute trip to and from nearby  St. Martin (Marigot).
