Beach

Shoal Bay East

Shoal Bay East, Anguilla

Consistently rated one of world's best beaches. 2-mile stretch of powder-white sand with turquoise water. Excellent snorkeling on offshore reef. Beach bars and restaurants. Perfect Caribbean beach.

Directions Reviews
Local Tips
Visit Shoal Bay East before 9 AM or after 4 PM to have the stunning white sand beach mostly to yourself. The cruise ship crowds and day-trippers typically arrive between 10 AM and 3 PM, so early morning offers the best combination of perfect lighting and solitude.
Bring your own snorkel gear and drinks in a cooler - while the beach bars are excellent, they charge resort prices. The eastern end of the beach near the rocks has equally good snorkeling as the paid excursions, and you'll save $30-50 per person on equipment rental and marked-up beverages.
Beach

Meads Bay

Meads Bay, Anguilla

Stunning mile-long beach with pristine white sand. Home to luxury resorts including Malliouhana and Four Seasons. Calm water perfect for swimming. Upscale beach restaurants.

Directions Reviews
Local Tips
Visit Meads Bay very early in the morning (6:30-8:00 AM) when the beach is practically empty and the sand is cool - most tourists don't realize the beach is accessible 24/7 and the sunrise views are spectacular without any crowds from the resort guests who typically don't emerge until after 9 AM.
Park at the small public access point near Frangipani Beach Resort rather than paying for resort parking - there's a narrow dirt path between two properties that locals use to access the beach for free, and you can walk the entire stretch of Meads Bay from there.
Beach

Rendezvous Bay

Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla

2.5-mile crescent of white sand on south shore. Calm water, spectacular views of St. Martin. Long walks on beach. Beach bars and water sports. Family-friendly.

Directions Reviews
Local Tips
Visit Rendezvous Bay early morning (7-9 AM) or late afternoon (4-6 PM) to avoid the cruise ship crowds that typically arrive mid-morning and stay through early afternoon. The beach transforms from bustling to peaceful during these shoulder hours.
Walk to the far eastern end of Rendezvous Bay near the rocky outcropping where locals often gather. This area has the best snorkeling with clearer water and more fish, plus natural shade from the sea grape trees that most tourists never discover.
Beach

Sandy Ground Beach

Sandy Ground, Anguilla

Main beach in Sandy Ground village. Popular with locals and visitors. Beach bars, restaurants, live music. Good snorkeling. Lively atmosphere, especially on weekends.

Directions Reviews
Local Tips
Visit Sandy Ground Beach on weekday mornings before 10am to have the best stretches of sand almost to yourself, as most tourists don't arrive until after the cruise ship day-trippers and resort guests finish breakfast.
Park for free at the public parking area near the Sandy Ground Salt Pond rather than paying at the beachfront restaurants - it's just a 2-minute walk to the beach and you'll save the parking fees that some establishments charge non-customers.
