The Best Beaches in Anguilla

  • Shoal Bay East, Anguilla: Not to be confused with Shoal Bay West, this beach offers both rollicking beach bars and seclusion, with great snorkeling on its less-trafficked eastern flank.
  • Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla: This picture-perfect beach curls and stretches its sands for nearly 3 miles -- it's a great swimming beach.
  • Maundays Bay, Anguilla: The prime beach for the Cap Juluca resort, Maundays Bay has calm, sparkling waters that are perfect for swimming and snorkeling.
  • Meads Bay, Anguilla: Big, languorous rolls and gin-clear turquoise seas are overseen by swooping pelicans. Take your snorkeling equipment to the rocks beneath the Malliouhana resort.
  • Offshore Cays, Anguilla: Head out for a castaway adventure to such delicious spits of sand as Dog Island, Prickly Pear, Sandy Island, and Scilly Cay -- the latter three also have ramshackle beach bars where lobster is grilled to perfection.
