Cow Wreck Bar and Grill-Dining

Named for the cow bones that once washed up on shore, this beachside eatery on the northern shore is a fun place to watch the surfers and kite-boarders skidding across the bay. Tuck into conch ceviche, lobster fritters, or the popular hot wings for lunch. The homemade coconut pie is a winner we hear! Pack your snorkel gear and explore the perfect reef just a few steps away from the shore before you eat.

Horseshoe Reef- Snorkeling & Scuba Diving

Anegada is known for miles of white sand beaches and the 18-mile-long Horseshoe Reef, the largest barrier coral reef in the Caribbean, and the third largest on Earth. In an effort to protect the reef, the BVI government has made anchoring on Horseshoe Reef illegal. Numerous ships have met their fate at the hands of Horseshoe Reef, and these submerged vessels make for some of the most interesting dive sites in the Caribbean. The San Ignacio is one of the ships that can be visited by those who choose to go scuba diving. Just by snorkeling you can see the beautiful coral, vibrant colors, and eye catching marine life.

Taking in the beauty of the island’s natural surroundings is a must! A walk along the beach or in any direction promises a blissful experience! The spectacular array of colors from the local blooming Bougainvillea to the turquoise waters and golden sunlight, are not to be missed!
