About The Quarter
The Quarter is one of Anguilla's fourteen districts, a quiet inland area in the central part of the island. It lies close to The Valley and Crocus Hill, the island's highest point at 73 metres, and is made up of low-rise homes, small lanes and pockets of open, scrubby land.
Anguilla is a low-lying British Overseas Territory in the eastern Caribbean, known for its coral and limestone terrain, calm turquoise water and white-sand beaches. The Quarter sits back from the shoreline, so its everyday character is more local and residential than the beach areas found along the west and north coasts.
Nearby The Valley is Anguilla's capital and commercial centre, with government offices, churches, shops, restaurants and small markets. Crocus Hill offers views across the island and the sea, while beaches such as Shoal Bay East, Rendezvous Bay and Sandy Ground are within a short drive of The Quarter.
Anguilla is known for its relaxed pace, quiet luxury resorts, beachfront dining and a food culture built around fresh seafood and Caribbean staples. Tourism and offshore financial services drive the island's economy, and most visitors arrive through Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport near The Valley.
For travellers, The Quarter works well as a peaceful inland base with easy access to the island's main services, beaches and attractions. It suits visitors who prefer a low-key setting while exploring Anguilla by rental car, taxi or private transfer.
The Quarter Travel Guide
Best Time to Visit
December to April is the most popular period for dry, sunny weather and calm beach conditions. May to August can be quieter and often offers better value, while hurricane season runs from June to November with the wettest months usually from September to October.
How to Get Around
Anguilla has no public bus network, so visitors generally use rental cars or taxis. The Quarter's central inland location makes it convenient for reaching The Valley, the airport and beaches, though driving is on the left and local roads are mostly narrow.
Where to Stay
Most resorts and villas are concentrated along the beach areas of the west and north coasts, including Meads Bay, Shoal Bay East and Sandy Ground. The Quarter itself is quieter and mainly residential, while nearby The Valley and coastal districts offer a wider range of hotels, guesthouses and private rentals.
Food & Drink
Anguilla's food scene centres on fresh seafood, grilled lobster, conch, johnny cakes, pigeon peas and rice, and rum punch. Beachfront restaurants at Sandy Ground, Shoal Bay and Meads Bay sit alongside local bakeries, roadside barbecue stands and smaller cafés in The Valley.
