The 10 Best Free Things to do in Anguilla, Anguilla

June 23, 2021 Janean Rudisill

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.

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.

Devonish Art Gallery

Reviewed By parisloversinphilly

We are so sad that COVID-19 cancelled our trip to visit Anguilla. Every trip, we stop for a new piece of art from Courtney Devonish. He is very talented, humble and collaborates to offer art from other talented Anguillans. Though I love all of our Devonish art, I am very partial to his carved hearts. Perfect for relieving anxiety. I hope you will take the time to visit his gallery and meet this very special, gifted man. My pictures really don't do these pieces justice. They are exquisite.

Maundays Bay

Reviewed By IcedMachiatto - New Jersey, United States

Anguilla has no shortage of spectacular beach (Meads, SBE, Rendevouz) big Maunday’s is my favorite. I hesitate to write this review because I would hate for it to be overrun or lost its charm. Sharing the beach with Cap Juluca, my favorite part is toward the right near pimms where us commoners can bring a towel or chair and set up a nice little base. This side remained particularly calm and almost bath like the day I visited. On the opposite end is the cap shack where chairs may be rented and food purchased. I didn’t want to sit over there as the day I visited that side was particularly rough.

The store recently moved to this new location on Meads Bay. My wife usually finds some local jewelry that she likes here. They have some nice linen shirts. Over the last few years I have bought several in various colors. The owners are very nice and friendly. Always enjoyable to stop in and find something new

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.

Irie Life

Reviewed By TravellerLH13 - Indianapolis, United States

Unfortunately our luggage did not make it with us to Anguilla on a late Saturday afternoon. We decided to wait until the next day to figure out what to do. Traveling from the Midwest we were wearing jeans and long sleeves. We could tell that our day would be spoiled by not having swimwear. Our condo resort manager Jacquie suggested a few places, Irie Life being one of them. We tried several boutiques on a Sunday and finally had success with Irie Life! They have lots of great quality women’s swimwear in all styles. This was the only place we were able to find men’s trunks as well. The ladies that work their are so helpful. We went back later in the week to pick up some t-shirts to take home.
