While the beach may slowly be eroding at Gwen’s Reggae Bar, an Anguilla beach bar located on Upper Shoal Bay, the affinity the locals and tourists have for this local favorite has not. Described by Anguilla Beaches as the “#1 relaxation spot of all Anguilla restaurants” and by Caribbean Travel and Life instructs us to “grab a cold drink and settle in for some serious swinging in one of the hammocks strung amid Gwen’s shady palm grove – hands down and feet up the best place on Anguilla for an afternoon nap,” Gwen’s is the perfect spot to lime away the afternoon. High on my list of beach bars to belly up to during our trip to Anguilla at Thanksgiving, I plan on doing a lot of nothing at Gwen’s and it sounds like I’ll fit right in.

“On a prime beachfront spot on the exquisitely beautiful Upper Shoal Bay in Anguilla sits a brightly colored beach bar called Gwen’s Reggae Grill.”

About Gwen’s Reggae Bar (from Frommer’s)
“At Upper Shoal Bay, check out Gwen’s Reggae Bar and Grill (tel. 264/497-2120), which features Gwen Webster’s barbecue daily into the early evening; on Sunday it showcases live reggae performances. Ask for a side order of Gwen’s special slaw. The palm grove here is one of the few naturally shady seaside spots on the island, and it comes with hammocks.”

Have you been here? If so, let me know what you think in the comments. Since it’s impossible for me to visit every single beach bar I post about on the site, the comments from readers like you allow others who are interested in checking out these beach bars hear from people who have actually been there and let them read unbiased reviews. Kind of like the Trip Advisor for beach bars!
