Latest reviews on Anguilla's beaches

Jacala beach

Words fail me

Anguilla beach
10 Amy J

We visited this beach for a day trip with our young child, as we were staying at a different hotel. Our interaction with Justin-Time was absolutely amazing. He was friendly from the beginning and immediately assisted us in finding a spot on the beach. The customer service was excellent! The drinks were delicious and the water was incredibly clear. It doesn't get any better than that!

Shoal Bay beach
10 Zane Marlowe

This beach is in a prime location and is simple yet perfect! The family hosting us was amazing. We have visited many islands worldwide, and this place is the best. If you're planning a trip to Anguilla, don't think twice about staying here!

Crocus Bay beach
10 Samantha Polan

The snorkeling experience at this beach in Anguilla is unparalleled and truly exceptional. The crystal-clear waters offer a breathtaking view of the underwater world, making it a must-visit destination for all snorkeling enthusiasts. Moreover, the beach boasts of some of the most secluded and hard-to-reach beaches that can be accessed by swimming towards the right. The convenience of parking and walking straight into the bay adds to the overall charm of the place. All in all, this beach is a perfect blend of adventure, serenity, and natural beauty, making it an ideal location for a memorable vacation.

Little Bay beach
10 Hennorice Mennehan

The beach is a great spot for snorkeling, and I had an amazing 20-minute experience with a stunning Spotted Eagle Ray. It's worth noting that the beach has public free entry, so anyone can enjoy it without any cost.

Zenaida beach
2 Sage Ryan

The reception here is absolutely terrible. The staff is incredibly rude and unwelcoming, so I would strongly advise against staying here unless you actually enjoy being treated poorly.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 9 beaches in the country, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
