Tagged: anguilla, bbbaxa, beach bar, beach bar pic of the week, caribbean, road bay, roy's bayside grill, sandy ground
One restaurant/beach bar that’s always a must visit for me on Anguilla is Roy’s Bayside Grill. Located at the southern end of the beach on Road Bay in Sandy Ground, Roy’s has become a breakfast mainstay for us. The value is tremendous (in my opinion, the best on the island), especially if you’re staying in Sandy Ground and don’t have to take a taxi somewhere. The restaurant sustained a lot of damage from Irma in 2-17 but has come back...

If you’ve followed this blog for any length of time, you’ll know how big a fan I am of the Sunshine Shack, a beach bar located in Anguilla. After my first visit to this Caribbean paradise, I named it my favorite beach bar on the island. That’s high praise, considering the country is home to world famous beach bars such as the Dune Preserve and Elvis’. This photo is courtesy of our friends over at Caribbean Soul Trekkers who I also met...

It’s no secret how much Road Bay and Sandy Ground in Anguilla mean to me. I always describe it as “coming home.” With its shore lined by beach bars from the north point to the southern end, it’s a given that this stretch of beach would be like a home away from home for me. It’s not just the beach bars and restaurants, though. It’s the people who call it home, who go to work there every day and who...

Opened by Bob and Melinda Blanchard, authors of one of my favorite books (and part of the reason I fell in love with Anguilla in the first place), the restaurants had been closed since Hurricane Irma struck the island....
