Widely called one of the best beaches in the Caribbean — powder sand, clear water, a healthy reef right off shore. Go early with a guide who knows where the turtles and rays feed.
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.
A quieter, cliff-backed bay with excellent snorkeling and, just inland, a striking natural limestone arch few day-trippers ever find.
A private boat run to Anguilla's outer cays — Prickly Pear and beyond — with stops for snorkeling and beach time on islands with essentially no development.
A long, gently curving bay facing St. Martin, consistently uncrowded even in season — ideal for an unhurried walk and swim rather than a packaged activity.
