The 10 Best Things to do in Anguilla, Anguilla

July 14, 2021 Lean Nau

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.

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.

Sandy Island

Sandy Island is a small cay off Sandy Ground beach in Anguilla. It is quite possibly the most beautiful place one will ever visit. A popular off island getaway, Sandy Island offers visitors a sensational tropical experience. It’s far away enough for that quintessential Robinson Crusoe feeling, yet close enough to stay connected to the mainland. The Restaurant opens daily serving fresh seafood and grilled meats, and the bar is fully stocked with ice cold beers and spirits from around the world.

You catch a boat ride at Sandy ground to Sandy Island. Usual hours on the island are 10-4. Great food & drinks there. Bring a beach towel & snorkeling gear, if you like to do that. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

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.

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.

This is a great way to see parts of Anguilla that most don’t get to see. Beautiful weather. Secluded beach. Amazing food.

GB Ferries

Whether you need an exclusive or shared private charter or simply a ferry shuttle between Anguilla and St. Maarten/Princess Juliana Airport Terminal; a day trip to or drop off and/or pickup from St. Barths; sea excursions around Anguilla or one of its several keys including Prickly Pear and Sandy Island, you are in good hands with GB Express.

Reviewed By 254dennys - Milton, United States

After a complicated trip to St. Martin it is such a mice luxury to let GB Ferries pick you up at airport, help you through customs and whisk you off to Anguilla. The staff are very fun and pleasant. We went with the main ferry last time, it was much more cumbersome and took a lot longer. This was more direct and relaxing.

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....
