Known as one of the best beaches, it attracts plenty of visitors from the island as well as day-trippers from nearby Saint Marteen. The sand is as white as can be, lined with tiny shell fragments that lend a magical sheen to the entire beach. The quiet seas here are safe for all the family and perfect for swimming, snorkeling, diving, kayaking and windsurfing. Shoal Bay Beach Anguilla also boasts plenty of restaurants, bars, live music and equipment hire facilities. We recommend Allamanda Beach Club and Gwen\u2019s Reggae Grill.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Sandy Ground Beach<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Said to truly capture the essence of Anguilla Sandy Ground is as diverse as the island itself.

Nevertheless the effort to reach this secluded slice of paradise is worth the journey. Cliff top mansions overlook the bay where you will find pristine sands, turquoise seas and plenty of peace and quiet. Boats are not allowed to moor here so the waters are clear to roam; there\u2019s also no surf making it an excellent snorkeling site with an abundance of tropical fish below the surface and friendly pelicans swimming alongside you. Due to the lack of facilities available visitors are advised to pack towels, drinking water and a picnic.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-61958\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetopvillas.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/little-beach-anguilla.jpg\" alt=\"Little Beach in Anguilla - top Anguilla beaches\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Rendezvous Bay Beach<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Rendezvous Bay is a beach walkers paradise with its perfect sweep of soft, white sand.
