6 Gems of Anegada: Reefs, Beaches, Lobsters and, oh, Shipwrecks

When Columbus first saw this low-lying coral atoll in the Caribbean Sea on his second voyage in 1493, he named it Anegada, meaning drowned island. The highest point then, and now, is only 28 feet above sea level. Anegada, about 14 miles northeast of Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands, now has some waterfront restaurants and beach bars, but the 15-square-mile island really hasn’t change all that much. It is still virtually surrounded by Horseshoe Reef (accounting for 300 shipwrecks), which protects miles and miles of secluded white sand beaches. One of the best, Cow Wreck Beach, is home to the Cow Wreck Beach Bar, pictured above. For snorkeling, diving, fishing, eating the sweet Anegada lobsters, or just getting away from it all, Anegada is hard to beat. Here are six spots there you won’t want to miss:
