General Information

Currency: The Eastern Caribbean (EC) dollar is used in Anguilla; American dollars are also accepted. The EC currency (also used in St. Kitts and Nevis and Antigua and Barbuda as well as other islands) is exchanged at a rate of US$1 = EC$2.68.

Weddings in Anguilla: Island resorts can plan beautiful weddings (as seen in 2004 on the Today show). See Anguilla's marriage regulations for legal details.

Pets: Some pets may be brought to Anguilla. Contact the Agriculture Department at (264) 497-2615 or the vet at (264) 497-4600/4601 at least six months prior to your visit.

Health: There's no need to worry about the drinking water or food supply in Anguilla. Bottled water is served at most restaurants because the island's drinking water supply is collected rainwater, but tap water is safe to drink.

Most resorts have a doctor on call for any guest emergencies. The Princess Alexandra Hospital in Stoney Ground just outside The Valley (264-497-2552) also offers medical care and outpatient services; the emergency room is staffed around the clock.

Dress: Swimsuits are de rigeur on the beach, but wear a cover up away from the sand and swimming pool. Evenings are typically casually elegant, although jackets are usually not required. Call for dress recommendations if you have questions.

Nude and topless sunbathing is prohibited on Anguilla; to soak in a little more sunshine than a bathing suit allows travel to the clothing optional beaches on nearby St. Martin.

Crime: One of Anguilla's greatest assets is its low crime rate. With its excellent economic position, crime is rare. However, no destination is completely crime-free. Use the same common sense precautions you would exercise at home.

Drugs: Anguilla exercises strict anti-drug laws. Marijuana is an illegal substance and possession of it can result not only in large fines but also in a prison term.

Telephone charges: Don't plan to just "reach out and touch someone" from Anguilla--you might as well just bring them along. Long distance calls to the US run about $2.50 per minute. Hotels often levy surcharges on top of this. Also, 800 toll-free numbers will not work from Anguilla. If you need to place a call to an 800 number, dial 400 instead of 800; you will be charged $2 per minute. (To reach 800 numbers at American Airlines, call the local number: 497-3131.)

Internet: Cable and Wireless, with an office located in The Valley, has Internet service available to visitors.

Business Hours: 8 to 5, Monday through Saturday. Only a few stores are open on Sunday.

Currency: either US or Eastern Caribbean (EC) dollars accepted. EC and US exchanged at a fixed rated, $1US = EC $2.70.

Electricity: 110 Volts AC

Post Office: open 8 am to 3:30 p.m.. Closed weekends.

Tipping: Usually added to your bill, but check with individual establishment.

Communication: Anguilla is home of a daily newspaper (The Daily Herald), for a listing of what's happening look for the free What We Do in Anguilla, distributed at area hotels. Three radio stations fill the local airwaves: Radio Anguilla, Caribbean Beacon, and ZJF 105.3 FM. Television broadcasting includes Channel 2 and the Network Community Television.
