Pristine white sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters at Prickly Pear & Mead's Bay will take your breath away on this day sail.

Prickly Pear is located 16 miles from St Maarten and about 6 miles from the mainland of Anguilla. The motor sail to Prickly Pear takes about an hour and 45 minutes. These outer laying cays as the locals refer to them belong to Anguilla.
