While researching the honeymoon destination for Hannah and I, my research was geared towards finding a great place to relax for a week, and also a destination that would allow me to take some great pictures (how many other chances will I actually have an excuse to go somewhere like this). After countless hours spent researching and reading reviews, it came down to a small Island in the Caribbean measuring only 16 miles long and 3 miles wide at its widest point...Anguilla

Anguilla lies about 150 miles East of Puerto Rico, and 9 Miles North of St. Martin, but is vastly different than either of these well known Caribbean destinations.  Anguilla is home to 33 beautiful beaches which could all rival for the top spot on a world ranking.  Making this island even more alluring to us, was the fact that it is still somewhat unknown to a lot of people, and thus not overly commercialized and incredibly secluded.

Anguilla is the epitome of relaxation, and I must say that is what we spent the majority of our time doing.  Our resort, Cap Juluca, was by far the best place I have ever stayed, highlighted by the excellent service and the fact that every room is directly on the beach (you can't get much better than that). If you have ever dreamed about what it might be like to find yourself alone on a deserted island, go to Anguilla and visit some of the beaches there to get the experience!  You can easily be the only people on the beach at a given time...it is a incredibly relaxing!

If laid back and low key is your thing, as well as exploring and eating great food, Anguilla is the place for you.  Seriously, all you need to do is take a camera, point and shoot!

Now go buy a picture, so I can write off part of our trip ;) !
