    Anguilla is renowned for its beaches...Many of them. All are different and all are beautiful. The sand is like silk and the clarity of the water is like that of a perfect diamond. Some have rocky coral edges with black sea urchins lounging in the crevices. Some have calm waters to float your weary soul into bliss. While others have a pounding surf where pelicans take turns diving for their favorite fish of the day. Or you could drive to the north side of the island and hang out with some of the goats who inhabit this area. If you like boats (many made right on the island) take a drive to Sandy Ground. The colorful array of these seacrafts are worth the trip. Take your pick, even though all the beaches are public in Anguilla, you will find many times they are yours to enjoy for the day....not a soul in sight.

  • Best beach and probably if the top 3 best Carribean beaches : Shoal Bay in northern coast of Anguilla.
    Shoal Bay is what everyone is dreaming about !!!! Long white sand uncrowded beach, with shallow crystal clear water, plenty of underwater life for snorkellers, and some nice bars along the beach. But nothing like 'crowded' and 'noisy'. If you see Shoal Bay, you will be sad to leave it !!!

    Other nice beaches are in the Western end of the island, next to La Sirena resort (more difficult to access and much smaller).
    2 unique qualities :

    1) The extremely pure and clear waters all around the island (mainly North Coast)

    2) The local people : so nice and great !!!! With some English old-fashioned traditions
    (Anguilla being still a United Kingdom colony)

    No crime...no danger...nothing to worry about except maybe sunbursts !!!

  • My suggestion is to take a day trip on a Catamaran. We used 'Chocolat' and it was
    fabulous. For $80.00 USD per person (up to 12 people) we went to Prckly Pear and
    Sandy Island and Little Bay. The price also included lunch (awesome!!!) and drinks.

    Captain Rawlins was very friendly and did his best to put you at ease. He gave us
    time in each place to go for a swim and let us determine the schedule. He has been on the sea his whole life and is happy to talk about it. (Incidentally, his wife jacquie owns 'Ripples' - a restaurant located in Sandy Ground. Amazing atmosphere and good hamburgers!)

    I would also suggest going to both Shoal Bay (east and west) beaches, Junks Hole beach,
    Sandy Point Beach, Maundays Bay beach, Rendezvous Bay beach, and on and on and on! We rented a car and just drove the island for 7 days straight! It was fun trying to find the beaches and what seemed like undiscovered territory.
    Beauty beyond all comprehension is awaiting you. I went to Sandy Point beach first and
    when I stepped through the clearing on to the beach I just stood there and stared in
    disblief. The water looks exactly like all the pictures you see. It's like heaven on earth!

    Shoal Bay is a long soft white sand beach with clear turquoise water. Bring your snorkel gear because just off the shore are many coral reef with tropical sea life. Bring a hat and some sunscreen because you won't find much shade at the beach.

  • We did the catamaran trip on Chocolat and very much enjoyed the snorkeling, the company, the food and drink.

    We drove to Crocus Bay and bought a ride with Calvin to Little Bay for some wondrous snorkeling.

    We visited Shoal Bay East, which is lovely, lovely and enjoyed great food at Gwens Reggae Grill.

    Anguilla is really a place to go if you are looking for the definition of a relaxing vacation. It's not for everyone. If you are looking for true R & R...this is the place. I knew I wanted tropical weather & clean white sandy beaches. I also knew I didnt want crazy traffic, loud bars,vendors standing over your beach chair with something to sell, jet boats screaming by the beach and well....you get the picture.
    If you want that type of vacation go across the water to St. Martins. It's only a 15 minute ferry ride over. Trust me, if you go over, you will only be reassured that picking Anguilla to rest your weary bones, was the right choice.
