Sunway is a special type of boutique hotel. Its small size, exceptional location, elegant design, charming range of luxury accommodation (honeymoon suites, maisonettes, and studios) and professional operation result in a rare blend of intimate and personalized service offered against a setting of unique physical beauty.

Rendezvous Bay is a 2-mile slice of paradise that’s reason enough to visit Anguilla, some say. With calm enough waters for even the least confident swimmers and the mellow sounds of Dune Preserve in the background, Rendezvous is an idyllic retreat for vacationers looking to escape Shoal Bay East’s hustle and tourist bustle.

Rendezvous is free to enter and easy to enjoy any day of the week. But if you really want to get away from it all, avoid the beach on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday afternoons, when crowds gather for Dune Preserve’s live music. This southwestern beach also hosts the Moonsplash Music Festival every March.

Meads Bay, located on the western end of Anguilla, is beloved for its silky-smooth sand, aquamarine waters and gorgeous views. Plus, recent visitors said this beach is never as crowded as Shoal Bay East, and there are always chairs to rent and places to eat: many travelers and locals recommend dining at Blanchards Beach Shack, which is open Monday through Saturday at 11:30 a.m. (get there early for lunch).

Like the rest of Anguilla’s beaches, it is free to spend the day here. Keep in mind that the waters can get a bit rough during the winter season (December through January), but are usually mild during the summer. The easiest way to get to Meads Bay is via taxi, unless you’re staying at a hotel that’s within walking distance of the beach.

Sandy Ground Beach is the best for fun on Anguilla. So pack your towel and swimsuit, but leave your summer reading at your hotel; you won’t have time to lounge around here. Located in front of numerous restaurants, (including the popular Johnno’s Beach Stop, Elvis’ Beach Bar, Conch Shack, Lit Lounge and Dad’s), this western beach is also Anguilla’s main harbor, and it’s jiving at all times of day. Sandy Ground especially receives a lot of traffic from foreign sailors and families (all those food joints and accessible bathrooms nearby are hard to resist).

Sandy Ground is a public beach open all hours every day, but some travelers recommend you visit on a Sunday to hear jazz wafting from Johnno’s.

 

 

Shoal Bay East is the most popular of Anguilla’s 33 beaches. This northern shore is set up to entertain day-trippers from St. Martin-St. Maarten, so there are plenty of bars and restaurants, plus rental equipment for snorkeling, parasailing and scuba diving.

Recent visitors say that a trip to this beach is an absolute must-see, and recommend renting a few beach chairs and making a day of it. While this beach is popular and known to attract crowds, recent travelers remarked they did not have trouble finding a quiet spot to relax.

Like other beaches on Anguilla, Shoal Bay East is free to enjoy any day, any time, with available parking on the main road.

 

Little Bay has one of the best beach adventure experiences. Sneak away to, a cove carved into northwest Anguilla. Couples particularly enjoy snorkeling and swimming in the aquamarine water there, especially in the late afternoon as the sun sets. Recent visitors recommend getting to this beach early, as it can get crowded quickly.

Travelers used to climb down a rope ladder to get to Little Bay, but the rope ladder was recently removed. Now, the only way to get to this hidden cove is by boat: Once you get to Crocus Bay, look for a man named Calvin – he sets up camp under a mahogany tree, and he can also be reached by phone: 1 (264) 497-3939/772-1332. Calvin will take you to and from Little Bay for a round-trip fee of $15.
