Things to do
Sandy Ground Beach
Anguilla's main activity center is Sandy Ground, which has a long, crescent-shaped white sand beach that is well-known for its vibrant, busy environment, well-liked beach bars, and quiet, shallow seas perfect for swimming and anchoring yachts. In contrast to other more sedate Anguillan beaches, it offers a more commercial and social atmosphere being the island's primary harbour and a center for restaurants, partying, and boat racing.
Boat Trip to Sandy Island
A popular, quick 15-minute excursion from Sandy Ground that offers a "Robinson Crusoe" oasis experience is a boat ride from Anguilla to Sandy Island. Often referred to as a must-do "bucket list" item, this little, rustic sandbar gives a serene, isolated paradise vibe. Pure white sands, blue oceans, outstanding fresh seafood (especially lobster and crayfish) at the outdoor restaurant, and fantastic snorkelling are all enjoyed by guests.
Dining and Nightlife
Road Bay is a popular destination for casual beachfront dining, specialising on fresh local fare, notably crayfish, which are typically described as little, sweet baby lobsters. The strip's restaurants are famous for its grilled crayfish, snapper, and lobsters. Many restaurants offer outdoor decks or tables on the sand, making it an ideal place to eat and watch the sunset.
