Anegada Reef Hotel (

Anegada has one main road, Settlement Ruffin Rd, which starts at the airport and swings
by The Settlement. From there it heads west to the ferry dock at Setting Point. It's paved for
this portion, but as you move onward around the island the pavement gives way to packed
sand. Unpaved trails and 4WD tracks lead to the East End and interior.
TAXI
Taxis wait by the ferry dock. You can arrange a three-hour island tour for around $55. In
addition, open-air shuttles ($8 per person round trip) run to the beaches from the Anegada
Reef Hotel.
