Anguillita is a small, rocky island off the western tip of Anguilla. Anguillita is not Anguilla's westernmost point - that honour goes to Sombrero, also known as Hat Island. It is, however, the dependency's southernmost point. It is located at 18°9' N, 63°11' W.
Unlike Scrub Island, a larger island off the Eastern Tip and which has two excellent beaches, Anguillita is rarely even seen, since the western tip is virtually inaccessible by foot. As such it is rarely visited by tourists, though it is accessible by sea kayak.
Anguillita offers opportunities for divers, and good snorkelling conditions can be found off its rugged coast. Species such as barracudas, stingrays, and turtles can be seen in its waters. There are three ledged mini-walls at a depth of some 5-20 metres, and numerous small underwater caves.
