Scrub Island, Anguilla

Anguilla, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean, is renowned for its pristine white-sand beaches and turquoise waters. Inhabited by Indigenous Arawaks before European arrival, it was later colonized by the British in the 17th century. Anguilla has a history of resistance, most notably the 1967 Anguilla Revolution, when locals rejected incorporation into St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla, leading to direct British rule. Today, tourism is its main industry, complemented by fishing. Apart from the main island of Anguilla itself, the territory includes a number of other smaller islands and cays, mostly tiny and uninhabited. Pictured on this postcard is the Scrub Island.
