Some Travel
Tips
- US
currency is widely accepted throughout the island. Prices on menus,
in hotels and for activities are generally quoted in US dollars.
-
Driving is on the left. To rent a car on the island,
a valid driver's license from the resident country
is needed to obtain a local driver's license. Local
driver's licenses are available at car rental
agencies and cost $20.
-
Electricity is 110 AC voltage, the same as in the
US.
-
There are no nude beaches on Anguilla; topless
sunbathing is not permitted.
-
There are no casinos.
-
There is very little crime in Anguilla; however,
travelers should take normal precautions such as
locking doors and securing valuables.
-
Anguilla is a dry island with an average annual
rainfall of 35 inches and average monthly
temperature of 80ºF. The island is continually
cooled by prevailing trade winds, with little change
of temperature in the summer.
-
Water temperatures are in the upper 70ºs to lower
80ºs. Optimum diving conditions are in the summer
months when visibility is at its highest and there
are little or no ground seas.
