Island Harbour, Marina/Pier
Anguillians have been fishing for centuries in the colourful, simple handcrafted fishing boats that line the shore of the harbor. Hard that it may be to believe, these skillful fishermen take these little boats out to sea as far as 50 or 60 mi (80 or 100 km). Late afternoon is the best time to see the day's catch. Hail the boat to gorgeous Scilly Cay, a classic little restaurant offering fabulously fresh lobster and rum punches on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. While you wait, Scilly Cay’s chef will grilled the lobster and marinate it with a sauce of honey-laced orange juice, orange marmalade, roasted peanuts, virgin olive oil, curry and tarragon. The government is also excavating and restoring ancient Arawak cave dwellings and petroglyphs on the edge of town.
Sandy Ground, Beach
Almost everyone who comes to Anguilla stops by Sandy Ground, its most developed beach. Little open-air bars and restaurants line the shore, and there are several boutiques, a dive shop, and a small commercial pier. This is where you catch the ferry for tiny Sandy Island, just 2 mi (3 km) offshore.
Wallblake House, Museum
The only surviving plantation house in Anguilla, Wallblake House was built in 1787 by Will Blake and has recently been thoroughly and thoughtfully restored. The place is associated with many stories involving murder, high living, and the French invasion in 1796. On the grounds are an ancient vaulted stone cistern and an outbuilding called the Bakery (which wasn't used for making bread at all but for baking turkeys and hams). Tours are usually at 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Cost: Free. Operatiing Hours : Mon., Wed., and Fri.
Address: Wallblake Rd., The Valley, Anguilla

Warden’s Place, Government Building
Built in the 1790s, this former sugar-plantation greathouse is a fine example of island stonework. It now houses the Koal Keel restaurant and a sumptuous bakery, Le Petit Patisserie. Historically, it served as the residence of the island's chief administrator, who also doubled as the only medical practitioner. Across the street you can see the oldest dwelling on the island, originally built as a slave house.
