The trip to Anegada took three hours and was easier than we had been led to believe. The channel in is marked with buoys but does take a sharp left jog into the harbor. We followed another Cat in, arriving at 10:45. The highest point on the island is 27 feet, so it is a flat sandy island of palms and Australian pines ringed with the second larges reef in the world.
Anagada
Moments after we moored a small boat approached offering a half day snorkel to horseshoe reef and to see the flamingoes. He promised that we could keep the conch we found and he would try to catch us a lobster to show us how it was done (for $350 for 4 hours). He can usually only take five, but he said we were small enough that he could accommodate all six of us. We decided to check out the competition, so after lunch we took the dinghy in and walked the line of restaurants ringing the beach.
Anagada beach bars
Each offered lobster dinners for $50 for a whole and $35 for a half. At the Lobster Shack, we were handed a flier for the Anegada Beach Club that offers a free shuttle for four or more guests. The beach settlement is a half dozen restaurants and bars and you have to get your order in by four pm if you want to order dinner.
Our plan is to have drinks and conch fritters and paella on the boat. Scooter rentals were $30 for two hours, enough to see the island.
David and the boys were up for that, but the Anegada Beach Club sounded good to the rest of us so we split up and luckily they were willing to send a shuttle for just three of us with three to follow later.
The Club was perfect for us—lounge chairs around a small refreshing pool with half and full hammocks in the shad of immense grape trees. After a rum punch in the pool, we decided to explore the beach.
Anegada Beach Club
The Club has quite a bit of infrastructure, a palm thatched bar/restaurant built with eucalyptus from Honduras, conch lined paths, a thatched beach bar and equipment rental pavilion and wild, modernistic tents with decks with hammock stands and wooden bathrooms off to one side. The beach was white sugar sand with palaces shading lounges facing a half moon bay. The bottom was sandy with sea grass out several hundred feet before the breakers that marked the reef, so we didn’t see much in the way of fish, but the water was refreshing and we were glad to have glimpsed the tent rooms. 
We ordered more rum punches once four o’clock happy hour hit and enjoyed the hammocks and jenga until the boys arrived. They loved their scooter adventure ( a low traffic venue for their first experience). More rum punches all around, a walk on the beach, and then conch fritters, cracked conch with coconut and nachos, all delicious but the cracked conch with chipotle dipping sauce was the biggest hit. The manager offerd to give us a tour of the tent rooms, which were spectacular, reminiscent of luxury African safari accommodations, all built in Honduras to their specifications and shipped up in containers.
Back aboard we called Kelly to book a snorkel trip for eight am, and enjoyed a delicious paella with chorizo, canned chicken and canned crab, followed by key lime pie, which I had brought the ingredients for in my suitcase. Before we went to bed, I made a huge pasta salad for lunch when we return from snorkeling.
