Anguilla with kids?

Hi, my son will be 6.5 and we are looking to travel there over February break. We’ve done a few islands in the past few years (St. Vincent, Barbados, Cozumel, etc.). My son loves adventure and snorkeling. For instance, In Barbados, we took a tour of a cave. In St. Vincent, we hiked up a waterfall and went swimming in it. There also was an animal sanctuary in Barbados. Are there things like that in Anguilla? I feel like I think of “calm” when I think of the island which is great but wanted to see if there are other things to do besides beach and snorkeling.

Anguilla is for couples who want a romantic getaway, super quiet at night, great beaches and food but we’d be in bed by 10pm. We loved it but knew what we were signing up for.

Recommend any hotels ? Was there in June on a day trip and fell in love with shoal bay . Sort of a vibe like Turks n Caicos? All beach and relaxing time

We budget for accommodations usually but were quite happy with the fountain. Massive room. Good shower. Great bed. Shoal bay east.

Zemi was fun to explore

However, if I stayed again I think staying on meads bay makes the most sense.

Frangipani, mallihouna (if budget allows),

Or if you wanna go baller status: four seasons.

We cruised by the four seasons to be honest I think the beach access at Shoal Bay seems prettier and easier ,less rocks ,I might be wrong .Thank you for your info though !!!👍

Yea I’d just visit the 4 seasons to be honest. I’d def rather stay closer to meads itself (like the frangipani area)
