		During the 1990s, all of the beaches, with one exception, showed erosion, a result, at least in part, of the impact of several severe hurricanes since 1995.
		However, most beaches in Anguilla show erosion along one part of the beach and accretion (or build-up) at adjacent sections, thus these figures must be treated as average trends.

		For example, there is a well-known big wave site called Mavericks, based in Half Moon Bay, San Francisco, Calif. A group of surfers uses QuikScat data to help locate areas around the world where big waves will reach when they develop from growing weather systems like storms and hurricanes.
		Big weather systems mean big waves-some taller than 60 feet (18 meters)-that move so fast, surfers need to be towed in with jet skis just to catch them.
		Finding and tracking these waves is a matter of comparing data and observations from multiple sources, like satellites, wave charts and buoys.

		Trolling with large diving plugs and big bucktails along the pilings of the Bridge-Tunnel, on the underwater flats at the north end of the bridge and along drop-offs away from the bridge is productive.

		The road to town must cross the high hills at the back of the beach, and it is a steep, winding route on which many a tourist riding his own motorcycle has come to grief.
