Anguilla · 6 spots

Hidden gems in Anguilla.

Shoal Bay rivals anywhere in the Caribbean but most visitors never leave the beach chair. The real Anguilla - salt ponds, rum shacks, and offshore islets - takes a little more effort and pays off every time.

Nim's Nook

Beach · Meads Bay

Tucked into the far right end of Meads Bay and hidden from view by a rocky outcrop. A small cave at the end, calm water, and almost always empty. Walk to the end of the beach and you'll find it.

Long Bay Beach

Beach · Long Bay

A hidden gem that barely makes the itinerary of even seasoned Anguilla visitors. Empty, long, with cliffs jutting into the water at one end. Exceptional scenery and solitude.

Little Bay

Beach · Little Bay

A cove enclosed by cliffs east of Crocus Bay. The rope that used to hang down is gone - now you swim in from the rocky outcrop or arrive by boat. Best snorkeling on the island.

Savannah Bay

Beach · Savannah Bay

Anguilla's longest beach, completely isolated on the rough southern side. Most of the water is too wild for swimming - but the far right end is protected, calm, and crystal clear. Requires some driving skill to reach.

Turtle Cove

Beach · Meads Bay

A small beach with a level of beauty you'll likely have all to yourself. Doesn't appear on major maps. Access via the walking paths through Malliouhana Resort - pairs perfectly with a meal at Blanchard's nearby.

Tides · Wildlost

Blolly Ham Bay

Beach · West End

A secret spot on the western tip of Anguilla visited by less than 1% of travelers. Small sandy beach, cliffs with caves, the island of Anguillita offshore. Difficult road to reach it. Swimming conditions are rough.
