Currency
The Eastern Caribbean dollar (EC$) is the official
currency of Anguilla, although U.S. dollars
are the actual "coin of the realm."
Customs
Even for tourists, duties are levied on imported
goods at varying rates: from 5% on foodstuffs
to 30% on luxury goods, wines, and liquors.
Documents
All visitors must have an onward or return ticket.
For U.S. and Canadian citizens, the preferred
form of ID is a passport, even if it has expired
within the past 5 years. In place of a passport,
a photo ID with an original birth certificate
is required (play it safe and bring a passport
anyway). Citizens from the United Kingdom or
other countries must have a valid passport.
Electricity
The electricity is 110-volt AC (60 cycles),
so no transformers or adapters are necessary
to use U.S. appliances.
Hospitals
For medical services, consult the Princess Alexandra
Hospital, Stoney Ground (tel. 264/497-2551),
or one of several district clinics.
Language
English is spoken here.
Liquor
Laws
Beer, wine, and liquor are sold 7 days a week
during regular business hours. It's legal to
have an open container on the beach.
Pharmacies
Go
to the Government Pharmacy at the Princess Alexandra
Hospital, Stoney Ground (tel. 264/497-2551),
open Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm and Saturday
from 10am to noon.

Police
You can reach the police at their headquarters
in The Valley (tel. 264/497-2333) or the substation
at Sandy Ground (tel. 264/497-2354). In an emergency,
dial tel. 911.
Post
Office
The main post office is on Wallblake Road, The
Valley (tel. 264/497-2528). Collectors consider
Anguilla's stamps valuable, and the post office
also operates a philatelic bureau, open Monday
to Friday from 8am to 4:30pm. Airmail postcards
and letters cost US$1.50 to the U.S., Canada,
and the United Kingdom.
Safety
Although crime is rare here, secure your valuables;
never leave them in a parked car or unguarded
on the beach. Anguilla is one of the safest
destinations in the Caribbean, but you should
still take standard precautions.
Taxes
The government collects a 10% tax on rooms and
a departure tax of US$20 if you leave the island
by air, US$3 if you leave by boat.
Telephone
Telephone, cable, and Telex services
are offered by Cable & Wireless Ltd., Wallblake
Road, The Valley (tel. 264/497-3100), open Monday
through Friday from 8am to 5pm. To call the
United States from Anguilla, dial 1, the area
code, and the seven-digit number. You can call
MCI by dialing tel. 800/888-8000.
Time
Anguilla is on Atlantic Standard Time
year-round, which means it's usually 1 hour
ahead of the U.S. East Coast -- except when
the U.S. is on daylight saving time, when the
clocks are the same.
Weather
The hottest months in Anguilla are July to October;
the coolest, December to February. The mean
monthly temperature is about 80°F (27°C).
