Anegada Passage

The Anegada Passage separates the Virgin Islands from the northern Lesser Antilles, opening between Anegada and Sombrero. It is one of the deepest breaks in the island chain through which Atlantic water enters the Caribbean. The low, reef-fringed island of Anegada lies to the west, while Sombrero marks the eastern side. Beneath the surface, the passage leads towards the deep Virgin Islands Basin.
