Prickly Pear Island

Prickly Pear is an uninhabited group of tiny cays surrounded by a coral reef off the north coast of Anguilla. The place is renowned for its excellent snorkeling. A restaurant bar is present on the island; bring some change for cocktails or deck chairs on land.

The place is also a breeding ground for seabirds.

Prickly Pear is located about 6 miles north of Anguilla. The western islet consists mainly of rocky coral reefs and shrubs, with no easy access to the island. To the east another islet has a long and beautiful white sand beach with turquoise waters, where Scoobitoo usually comes to moor.
