Loblolly Beach on the Caribbean island of Anegada.

Anegada, British Virgin Islands
The land of lobsters and beach bars, Anegada is a ferry away from Tortola, surrounded by world-class beaches. Loblolly Bay spreads out with powdery white sand and long shallows protected by reef. Cow Wreck Beach runs broader and breezier, with uninterrupted sightlines across the water. The island’s flatness keeps the focus horizontal, always pulling your attention back to the shoreline. A great beach stay is the Loblolly Beach Cottages, which sit directly on the sand, informal and well spaced, built for travelers who plan to spend most of their time outside, moving between water and shade.
