Guided Tour of Historic Sandy Ground
The village of Sandy Ground has a long history. It was once even an Amerindian ceremonial site and home.
And over the centuries it has always been a center of activity.
Visitors this season have a chance to soak up this history in a walking tour of Sandy Ground,
given by Sir Emile Gumbs, the former Chief Minister of Anguilla, or his son Laurie.
Tours are by appointment at 10am on Tuesdays. To book an appointment, ask your hotel or call
the Tourist Board at Tel. 264.497.2759.
The tour includes the old salt factory and pump house. You will learn the salt pond, about
harvesting salt, and the state of the pond today. Inside the pump house (which is now a popular
bar and restaurant), the original electric pump still survies and there is a collection of photos of the salt harvest, its workers and old Sandy Ground.
