Things to do in Anguilla, Anguilla: The Best Nature & Parks

August 29, 2021 Marlin Saiz

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.

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!

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.

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.
