Characteristics
Unlike Scrub Island, a larger island off the Eastern Tip and which has two excellent beaches, Anguillita is rarely even seen, since the western tip is virtually inaccessible by foot. As such it is rarely visited by tourists, though it is accessible by sea kayak.
Anguillita offers opportunities for scuba divers, and good snorkelling conditions can be found off its rugged coast. Species such as barracudas, stingrays, and turtles can be seen in its waters. There are three ledged mini-walls at a depth of some 5–20 metres, and numerous small underwater caves.

Anguillita ist eine kleine, felsige Insel im Karibischen Meer vor der Südwestspitze der Insel Anguilla und gehört wie diese zum gleichnamigen britischen Überseegebiet Anguilla. Die unbewohnte Insel misst etwa 300 mal 100 Meter und ist von Anguilla durch einen knapp 400 Meter breiten Meeresarm getrennt. In der Mitte der Insel verläuft ein schmaler Kanal, so dass Anguillita zumindest bei Flut aus zwei Inselchen und einigen Felsen besteht.- [en] Anguillita
