While the Dune Preserve, a beach bar located on Redezvous Bay in Anguilla, still retains the same overall “adult treehouse on the beach” atmosphere it had before Hurricane Irma destroyed it in 2017, the most notable difference to a lot of people will be its façade.

I’ve written about the Sunshine Shack, a beach bar located on Rendezvous Bay in Anguilla, many times on this blog. After visiting the island for the first time back in 2015, I named it the best beach bar in Anguilla. A lot of that has to do with its owner, Garvey Lake.
