Lunch at Jacala, Meads Bay: The Island's Quiet Standard-Bearer

A long-running beachfront French-Caribbean table on one of Anguilla's finest bays, favored by regulars (Martha Stewart among them) precisely because it doesn't try to be a scene.

What to expect

You're seated almost at the waterline of Meads Bay, one of the most photographed beaches in the Caribbean, with a menu built around fresh fish and French technique rather than beach-shack fare. Service is unhurried — this is a two-hour lunch, not a quick bite. Afterward you can walk the bay in either direction; it's one of the least crowded good beaches on the island.

Booking
We have not yet verified a bookable operator and price for this one.

Good to know

Reserve ahead by phone or email, especially in high season; request a beachfront table when booking. Meads Bay is a roughly 20-minute taxi from Road Bay/Blowing Point.
