Widely considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, Rendezvous Bay is a must for all beach lovers! The silky, white sand beach is two miles long and extremely secluded. While there are three resorts situated along the beach, you will have no trouble finding a quiet place to lay out and work on that tan.
Located along the beautiful Rendezvous Bay, the Dune Preserve is a unique beach bar/club/restaurant, owned and operated by local reggae star, Bankie Banx. This beach bar is a really cool hangout spot and is open daily except on Mondays. Stay until dusk and watch one of the Caribbean’s most breathtaking sunsets.

Travel to Sandy Island for some true rest and relaxation. Kick back on the white powder sand beach and gaze out onto the crystal blue sea while sipping rum punch and dining on fresh lobster and other seafood. The underwater kingdom surrounding Sandy Island make this trip a snorkeler’s dream.
Shoal Bay East is home to one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful beaches and one of the most popular on the island of Anguilla. Lay out on the soft, white sand beach and peer out over the crystal blue water. Local musicians often come out and play right on the beach. Anyone looking for an epic beach day must pay a visit to Shoal Bay East.
Grab a bite at Blanchard’s Beach Shack. No need to change out of your swimsuit either! After relaxing at Meads Bay, take a short walk along the beach over to the Beach Shack and enjoy their delicious burgers or fresh seafood. Their frozen yogurt is also a must, especially on those extra hot days in the sun.
See the Heritage Collection on the island’s East End, curated by expert historian Colville Petty OBE. The Heritage Collection takes its visitors on a voyage through Anguilla’s rich cultural history. See the Collection’s rare archeological and historical artifacts and learn about the Arawak people who established 40 villages around 4,000 years ago, the English settlement of the island in 1650, the 1967 Anguillian Revolution and much more.

Visit the WallBlake House in The Valley and soak in some of Anguilla’s fascinating history. The house has changed hands many times over the past 225 years and is steeped in the contours of this beautiful island’s history. It is an absolute must-do for architectural enthusiasts.
Stop by the Art Café in Island Harbour for a look at the latest collection on display by Janus Pavluk, the gallery’s owner and operator, who also serves as Chairman of the Anguilla International Arts Festival. The gallery displays a variety of work but frequently centers around themes relating to the Caribbean.
Located just off the shore of Anguilla and accessible via a short boat ride, Prickly Pear Cay is a secluded paradise surrounded by three different reefs, making for incredible snorkeling. The cay is completely deserted except for two restaurants that serve lunch to visitors, making the trip to Prickly Pear Cay one of the best ways to simply "get away from it all".
