Transportation & Infrastructure Guide in Anguilla

Public transit, airports, and getting around

Anguilla, a tiny British Overseas Territory spanning 91 sq km with 13,452 residents, has a car-dependent transportation landscape perfectly suited to its scale. Key strengths include well-maintained roads, frequent ferries to St. Martin, and the Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport (AXA) linking to regional hubs like St. Maarten and Antigua. Challenges feature no public buses or rail, reliance on taxis and rentals, and limited infrastructure. Residents and visitors thrive with driving on the left, taxis, ferries, bikes, mopeds, or walking across the flat terrain.

Public Transport
1.0/10

No public transport systems exist—no buses, metro, or rail. Mobility relies on private cars, taxis, rentals, ferries, bicycles, mopeds, or walking due to the island's small size and low population density. Informal 'jitneys' (minivans) occasionally serve as shared taxis on routes.

Road Infrastructure
6.5/10

Total 175 km roads (82 km paved, 93 km unpaved), better maintained than many Caribbean islands. No highways; speed limits rarely exceed 30 mph with slow traffic. Urban roads adequate for small scale; basic safety features functional on flat terrain.

Internet Speed
