Catamaran Scoobi to Anguilla Beaches

One of our first adventures in Saint Martin is on Scoobi, a catamaran that picks us up at our  hotel beach and takes us across the channel to Anguilla, spending the day at three beaches before returning.  We stop, anchor, and swim at Shoal Bay, Cap Juluca (Maundays Bay), and Rendezvous Bay.  They all feature clear turquoise water and silky white sand beaches.  We swim ashore, walk the beach, and swim back to Scoobi.

Approaching Anguilla

Anguilla is one of the most northerly of  the Leeward Islands and is a British Overseas Territory.  The main island is approximately 26 km (16 miles) long by 5 km (3 miles) at its widest point, along with a number of smaller islands and cays.  The landscape is generally low and flat, with the highest elevation at 73 meters (240 feet).

We anchor in Shoal Bay, hop in the water, and swim to the beach.

After a few hours, we raise the anchor and move up the island to Cap Juluca and repeat the swim and beach walk.

A few  hours later, we move to the next bay up the coast, Rendevezvous Bay.

We enjoy lunch and glasses of rose wine on Scoobi and swim some more after lunch.

Too soon, the day winds down and we head back across the channel to Saint Martin; Scoobi dropping us at our hotel beach.

It's been a day full of fun with swimming, snorkeling, paddle boarding, swimming, lunch, drinks, and walks on the white sand beaches.  We look forward to another Scoobi trip in a few days.
