Once you reach the small, secluded island of Anguilla, you will feel as if you have just landed in an entirely different universe. At its widest, the island is no wider than five kilometers. Also, this tiny piece of heaven is the northernmost of all Leeway Islands, lying east of Puerto Rico and north of Saint Martins. However, this small island is not to be underestimated. Like most islands in the Caribbean, this one, too, is profusely multicultural, with artifacts of its first native population, the Taino Indians, having been recently unearthed. At the same time, this British overseas territory does feature profuse influences from mainstream British culture. These can be witnessed and experienced firsthand in the language, as well as in the cuisine, which blends native Caribbean with African, Spanish, French and British tastes. There are plenty of lovely holiday villas scattered around the island, and most of them are prime beachfront properties. But what are the best beaches to experience while in Anguilla? We have the scoop below.
Little Bay Beach
As a matter of fact, if you expect to see any modern and chicly appointed Anguilla villas on the shores of Little Bay Beach, think again. This beach can only be reached by boat. The secluded cove is a perfect little hideaway for couples and romantic or relaxed, very quiet afternoons at the beach. If you’ve got three hours to spare while in Anguilla, make sure you take a motorboat out to the hidden cove. You will be overwhelmed by the sense of surprise and wonder at having discovered your very own little blue lagoon in the Caribbean. You can relax at will there, or have an adventure snorkeling. To boot, if you’re feeling really up for excitement, sidestep the boat trip by climbing down to the beach on the fixed rope that hangs from the rock which guards the bay.
Shoal Bay East Beach
Shoal Bay East is a great destination both for those staying on Anguilla, as well as for tourists who have rented holiday villas in St. Martin. Those in the latter category might feel the need to escape from the comparatively more populous mountainous island, located just a few minutes away by boat. In comparison, Shoal Bay is infinitely more quiet, and displays the superb, unique landscape of a coral island. The main attraction here is the simple sight of the sun setting over the beach. The pinnacle of excitement is the occasional pick-up cricket game, which tourists sometimes hold on the beach. However, Anguilla is not exactly the place to go looking for excitement—it’s much better suited for peaceful and tranquil vacations. And just so you don’t think the place is totally deserted, there’s a great French restaurant bar on the beach which serves exquisite calamari.
