About this Dive Site
Description
Sand Highway in Anguilla's Prickly Pear Cays lives up to its name with a sandy channel bordered by vibrant coral formations, creating a natural thoroughfare for marine life. Expect to encounter graceful stingrays gliding along the bottom, elusive garden eels peeking from their sandy burrows, and the occasional sand dollar. This shallow, clear water site is an excellent introduction to the underwater world for novice divers.
