Cow Wreck Beach, stunning and secluded may be the highlight of your sailing charter, with pure white sand stretching as far as the eye can see and crystal clear waters lapping gently ashore. Knicknamed the "submerged or flooded land" by the Spanish explorers, Anegada is flat and low and formed primarily from coral and limestone. Surrounding the main island are miles of white sand beaches and an 18 mile (29 km) long Horseshoe Reef, the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean, and the fourth largest on earth. Cow Wreck Beach, located in the middle of this spectacular arching white sandy beach has a quaint bar, restaurant and gift shop. Loblolly Bay, includes a reef with a maze of tunnels, drops and caves boasting rich marine life. Schools of mojarra and needlefish thrive in the sandy bottoms, while green sea turtles swim in the sheltered waters.  

Beyond the reef, angelfish, stingrays, triggerfish, parrotfish, blue tang, and horse-eye jacks inhabit the drowned structures of the numerous Spanish galleons, American privateers and British warships that have been wrecked on this reef. For those looking for more of the comforts of home, the Anegada Reef Hotel features a bar, restaurant, pool, and palapas. Anegeda Spiny Lobster, freshly caught and grilled over an open fire, is the best in the BVIs and is served at several of the restaurants located along the shoreline. For those wanting to fish, trolling the Anegada passage offers an opportunity for wahoo and mahi mahi. Anegada also offers some of the world's best bonefishing in the Caribbean. Charter a guide to experience the very best fishing Anegada has to offer.
