We enjoy Anegada. But, if it is for just one night then maybe not. The anchorage is not swimmable and you need to take a taxi to the beach. But, the beach walk to Pomato Point from Neptunes Treasure is awesome. You can keep walking as far as you like on the white sand beach. If you like long sails, the reach from Anegada to Jost is about the longest sail inside the BVIs. If you detour north a bit, we've caught a few fish out towards Kingfish Banks.

Anegada is much different than the other islands -- and in a good way. The beaches at Loblolly and Cow Wreck are amazing. You get a sense of being on a far away deserted beach. We love it there.
However, I understand your plight. To do justice to Anegada, you have to do a minimum of 2 nights there. That's a lot of time out of a 7 day trip. But if you haven't been there before, I don't think you would be unhappy if you did go !!!

SuburbanDharma said: We've never stayed more than one night & the sail is only a couple hours from North Sound. We've encountered some heavy weather on the way there, though, so if you're uncomfortable being uncomfortable, be sure to confirm good conditions before heading out.
Someone said the anchorage isn't swimmable? I've done it every time, was there some reason I shouldn't? Planning to head out there in a few days. The only thing I can think of is people remember the pics of the big tiger shark they caught and hauled into the shore in front of Neptunes. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

In my 5 charters in the BVI I have gone to Anegada 4 times (the 5th was scrubbed because we were there in December and the swells were too high for the crew I was with). The trip from North Sound is not bad at all. Cow Wreck is probably my favorite beach in the world. We leave North Sound early, Make dinner reservations as soon as we get there (my favorite Lobster in the world too and I'm from New York City where good restaurants are plantiful) and the grab a taxi to Cow Wreck. Usually lunch there at Bell's place and after some major relaxing we head over to Loblolly for snorkeling. You can't go wrong for dinner at any of the restaurants surrounding the anchorage. I have yet to try the Wonky Dog (which is not at the anchorage) but I look forward to the chance. We usually only stay one night and usually head to JVD the next morning. Personally Anegada will always be in my float plan and one night is not a problem. Go for it!

Hi Mark,
Wonky Dog is in the anchorage. It is adjacent to whistling pines, on its east side.
We also go for one night. It's not a long sail from North sound to the Wonky Dog for the best food in the bvi.
Try the wonky dog bushwhackers. I put a video on youtube of Sherwin making them.. Search wonky dog anegada bushwacker.

As I said I have yet to try it but will definitely do so on my next trip, probably this coming May. I have had the pleasure of dining at Neptune's Treasure, Potters by the Sea and Whispering Pines. All were great in different ways. You really can't go wrong at any of them! warren460 said:
