Anguilla’s coastal beaches are fantastic, but there are fun and fascinating places to discover in the interior, too. For instance, there is an adorable little park in the historic area of the Valley.

For your picnic meal, stop first at one of the many places on the Strip in the Valley (across from St. Mary’s Anglican Church) to select food ranging from curry to BBQ.

From the Strip, turn left on the Valley Road and the take the left at the roundabout onto Coronation Avenue. Drive past the Ministry of Infrastructure. The park is across the street from the Lion’s Community booth.
