Opening in June of 2010, the Anguilla Heritage Trail was a joint project supported by the Anguilla Archaeological and Historical Society (AAHS), the Anguilla National Trust (ANT), the Anguilla Tourist Board (ATB), the Anguilla Hotel and Tourism Association (AHTA) and individual and corporate donors. The trail consists of ten stops around the island of historical significance, designated by a marker of an “H” surrounded by a trio of dolphins. This stop on the trail is Road Bay/Sandy Ground, and the marker reads: “The port below exported cotton, sugar, and salt in the 18th century. There was a large Amerindian village near the present beach.”

Dr. Howard Resh explains how to grow so many great fresh vegetables and herbs in the regular sun and heat on Anguilla. All that sun is great when you are on the beach with a drink in your hand, but extreme temperatures make it difficult to maintain a crop. Cuisinart operates a hydroponic farm where they grow vegetables and herbs in water. Take a tour, operated Tuesday, Thursdays and Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. Read more about the farm here…

On a trip to Sint Maarten, the Dutch half of the island also occupied by the French St. Martin, good friends of ours shared with us their love of Guavaberry, a liquor traditional to the island. Guavaberry liquor is made from oak-aged rum, cane sugar, and wild Sint Maarten guavaberries found high in the hills on the island. Give it a whirl next time you’re on the island!
