10 Beaches in Anguilla That You Shouldn't Miss

March 18, 2022 Weston Hennigan

What makes Anguilla's beaches the best in the world? White, powdery sand that stretches for miles, pristine waters and the laid-back, welcoming attitude of the Anguillan people. Swim and sunbathe all day—and all year round—at romantic public beaches like the aptly-named Rendezvous Bay, then dance to calypso music at Anguilla's annual summer festival.

Shoal Bay

A popular beach with white sand and turquoise water that has its secluded areas as well.

Reviewed By jmdilla - Scottsdale, United States

Though all of the beaches of Anguilla are beautiful, this one has it all! Wonderful resorts (Menoah, Zemi etc), expansive sand, entertainment, great food (Madearimans, Tropical Sunset, Gwens etc) and plenty of parking.

Meads Bay

This scenic beach is located close to several luxury resorts.

Reviewed By Yancy82414

Our family's favorite beach in the entire world -- we've simply given up on finding a more perfect beach. It's never crowded, and the sunsets are exquisite. The many restaurants and places to stay (Tranquility Beach is perfectly situated at the mid-point) are just icing on the cake.

Cove Bay

Located next to another beach, Rendezvous Bay West, Cove Bay features white sand and panoramic views of its own.

Reviewed By BabaluWhite33 - Boston, United States

This beach is not off the beaten path but its certainly underused. As nice as the 2 beaches it sits between (Rendezdous and Maundays), it was mostly private the entire time we were there. No facilities. Easy parking. great sandy beach and view over to SXM

Rendezvous Bay Beach

This bay is the site of a popular beach and was once the location of a key battle between the English and French for colonial control over the island.

Reviewed By 565lesterl

Lovely, boringly calm water, soft sand, few bars and restaurants. Not many people and just average flora.

Sandy Ground is a great little spot with a nice beach, lots of boats to watch and a large variety of restaurants and bars to enjoy with a wide range of foods types, drinks and even some live music. A place to explore and visit during your stay.

Little Bay

Accessible only by boat, this secluded cove is perfect for a quiet afternoon on the beach.

Reviewed By meganh93006 - Bellville, United States

Little Bay is a nice hidden treasure of Anguilla. You must get there by boat an because of that it offers more privacy and secluded area than other beaches. You can swim out to the large rock and jump off (look up LeBron Janes doing it) and we were able to see several sea turtles during our time there.

Barnes Bay Beach

Reviewed By BabaluWhite33 - Boston, United States

Can be a bit rougher than the other beaches as its not quite as protected but on a calm day (winds not our of the N or NW), its amazing. Best beach to watch the sunset - head to the half shell at the Four Seasons or Mangos for a drink. Its got huge rocky outcroppings but sandy in-between so swimming is good but the walking and the pics are better. Some nice sea glass searching....
