Anegada

Anegada is the northernmost of the British Virgin Islands and lies 15 miles north of Virgin Gorda. Unlike the other British Virgin Islands of volcanic origin, it is the only inhabited one formed from coral and limestone.

While the other islands are mountainous, Anegada is flat and low. Its highest point is only about 28 feet above sea level, hence its name, the Spanish term for flooded land, “Tierra Anegada.”
