Another northwestern gem, Meads Bay Beach is a wonderful spot to relax . This beach offers a wide expanse of sand so soft, it’s actually challenging to walk on, but boy is it a comfy place for a nap.

Locals always frequent the best places, and they choose this lovely beach time and again. Actually, Meads Bay Beach has a loyal fan base both on the island and across the world. Yes, the vibrant blue water helps entice visitors, but it’s the serene locale that keeps them coming back to this beach in Anguilla.

Luxury hotels like the Four Seasons have latched on to this beach’s immense beauty, popping up between Barnes Bay Beach and this spectacular spot. The upside of their attention: well-kept shores, fine restaurants, and first-class spas.

Anguilla was wonderful except for the fact you need a cruising permit to go anywhere except the main anchorage of Road Bay. The permit is very expensive so we preferred to rent a car for 2 days!
