Anegada history - learn what once happend
Anegada, an island 10 miles long by 2 1/2 miles wide with extensive salt ponds, reaches its highest point at 28 feet, hence its name which means the "drowned land." Of coral reef origins, Anegada has "extruded" sixteen miles of sandy beaches with a primeval quality. Anegada is "guarded" by the famous Horseshoe Reef which, at eighteen miles long, is one of the world's largest coral reefs. On the East End of Anegada, large piles of conch shells, some even forming islands, attest to the presence of aboriginal people. Later, pirates hid in the maze of reefs, with legends of pirate treasure. In modern times, earlier generations of Anegadans practiced agriculture, of which The Walls at The Settlement are unique artifacts. Subsisting in close harmony with nature, its rich marine environment was harvested as well. Contemporary Anegadans are skilled fishermen supplying BVI markets. Today, Anegada attracts people from around the world as friendly modern Anegadans apply their talents to creating interesting business places and activities. Shipwrecks and conch shells, fishermen and lobster pots, beaches and wild orchids--this is Anegada!
