Lovely beach with quite a few hotels and restaurants on it - worth going to Blanchards beach shack. There is snorkelling there too.

We stayed at Meads Bay Beach Villas. The water is clear, the breeze is fairly consistent, and the sand rivals Destin, Florida.

This has to be one of the most spectacular beaches in the world but it doesn't get the notoriety that Shoal Bay does, which is fine with us. We sometimes walk the beach in the morning and there are no more than 4 - 6 others. There are times when the water can be a little rough, particularly in the... More

A long stretch of white sand beach with not very many creatures running around; loved Blanchard's restaurant which provide $3.00 sun chair with umbrella all day, great food that is economical, as well as being an establishment that is eco friendly - a rarity on Anguilla

We stayed at the Anacoana on Meads Bay - great location for long walks on the beach with a lot of great choices for lunch at the many beach bars there.

If you like one of the world's most perfectly soft and pillowy sand with the clearest water every, you have to check out this bay and the beach here. It is truly beautiful. I have seen a lot of beaches and maybe Elbow Beach in Bermuda might be close, but this tops it.
