Activities While Staying at Ferryboat Inn |
| There are so many wonderful things "to do" in our peaceful, relaxed Anguilla. Quite a few of them involve the beach - you can go swimming, sailing, scuba diving, kite surfing, fishing and horse-back riding. Visit our local art galleries, museums, or go on a historical tour. Collect our various stamps, or seashells. Enjoy our special pond environments including a wide variety of birds. |
 Experience water sports, kite surfing, surfing, scuba diving, boating... and so much more... Learn to kite surf with Tropical Paradise.

| Check and see if there is a cricket match to watch. Often there is a game on Sunday at the field near the Blowing Point Ferry. |
