About a mile and a half north-west of Raod Bay and Sandy Ground (where the Sailing Club is) you can find Sandy Island. After a hurricane took the palm trees away a few years ago, the name fits the place even more.There was an old wreck sitting on the nortern corner. In the shallows and tide pools on either side I found lots of fish, crabs, and snails.
Because of the way the old ship was leaning, you can see blue sky right through the cabin doors.
There is one building here, and they serve food and drinks on weekends I hear. They weren't open the Saturday I went, and with how quiet it has been the last month, I'm not surprised.The island is surrounded by a reef, and you want to approach the beach from the side opposite of the Anguilla mainland. Eli and I didn't know that, so we had some close calls in the motorboat upon entering and exiting, but all's well that ends well!
I even got a dinner out of the experience, but that story is for another time.
