Anguilla is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. It is one of the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, lying east of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and directly north of Saint Martin. The territory consists of the main island of Anguilla, approximately 16 miles (26 kilometres) long by 3 miles (5 km) wide at its widest point, together with a number of much smaller islands and cays with no permanent population. The territory's capital is The Valley. The total land area of the territory is 35 square miles (91 km2), with a population of approximately 15,753 (2021). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anguilla

While the beaches may be the big draws here, there are plenty of reasons to explore the rest of the island’s 35 square miles beyond the sand. The Anguilla Arch in the southwest of the island is a gorgeous natural wonder carved over thousands of years by wind and the Caribbean sea. Perfect for a photo op or just lazing the day away with a little rum and beautiful surroundings. Sunsets are also spectacular at this spot.

Sure, the white cedar is a beautiful, trumpet shaped flower, but it’s importance to Anguilla is more than skin deep. This island native (that also doubles as Anguilla’s national tree) is quite at home on the Caribbean sea making it an integral material in an important aspect of Anguillan life: boat building.

Finally, the national animal: the ground lizard. If you’ve been to any Caribbean islands, you’d probably say “psshh, that’s just another lizard! They’re all the same!” But you’d be wrong! The ground lizard of Anguilla (or Anguilla Bank Ameiva) is only found on Anguilla and its satellite islets! Amazing, but true! Like the ground lizard, many islands within the region may at first seem identical, but with a little knowledge you can discover one-of-a-kind experiences wherever you decide to explore in the Caribbean… But especially on the little, unique island of Anguilla. Now you know.

I don't split these ideas because they are short.
