The day before our evening Anguilla Happy Hour at Blanchard’s on Meads Bay we had flown into St Martin and boated over to Anguilla.

We’ve shared tons of pictures from our favorite beaches on Anguilla in the past. We enjoy the beaches, water and view of St Martin across the water, so there was reason to return for this trip.

We took an American Airlines flight from Miami in First Class and were leaving St Martin by boat in the early afternoon.

We had reserved space on the Cap Juluca speed boat in advance. This boat takes guests directly from the airport to the public docs on Anguilla. From there, you can either get a taxi or rent a car.

We grabbed our carry on luggage, wheeled it across the street from the airport and caught the early boat across the water to Anguilla.

The boat takes a back route through some canals before heading out onto open water. It’s a nice ride and great way to feel the wind in your hair to start relaxing for your days on the island.

Before we knew it we were cruising the streets on the way to our favorite beach in the Caribbean.

We usually drop our bags by our room, freshen up before venturing out.

Our first stop after dropping our bags is always the bar by the lobby which offers fantastic views.

The journey to Anguilla is well worth this view!
