I agree. Do not rent a car, just take the public ferry from Marigot to AXA, do it on a weekday. Take your passport and cash. When you get to AXA tell the taxi you want to go to Elodias on Shoal Bay EAST. It will be about $30.00 each way. Tell him what time you want to be picked up – last ferry is around 6pm- give yourself enough time for the return to the dock. Set up there, they rent chairs, towels, umbrellas; they have good lunches and drinks. You are on one of the top ten beaches in the world – it is what drew me to Anguilla many moons ago – a picture in the 1996 Conde Nast Traveller – front page entitled “World Best Beaches”.
Forget renting a car, driving on the left, roundabouts and drinking do not mix. Maximize your time with the cab – the ferry is 20.00 each way per person and 5.00 departure tax – all cash.
Have a fun trip – Anguilla is magical – special, and unsurpassed for beauty, quiet and endless empty beaches.
