The Untamed Wild Side of Anguilla’s Sandy Island
Tagged: anguilla, beach bar, caribbean, sandy island, travel
If you ever find yourself wandering around Anguilla, make a day trip to Sandy Island a priority. While the beach bar/restaurant and western beach are the most popular spots to set up camp for the day, don’t forget to explore the rest of the island and spend some time on the east side. Its rocky reef-strewn shore taking on the waves coming out of the east provides a stark contrast to the sublime calm of the west side, an example in...

Elvis’ Beach Bar, Anguilla – A Home For Salty Souls And Royalty Alike

While I recently named the Sunshine Shack as my favorite Anguilla beach bar, Elvis’ Beach Bar and the Dune Preserve were always a very close second. Both have managed to grow and expand without losing the charm that made them great in the first place, not an easy thing to do when the trappings of money tempt you to “get big” and bring in even more cash while losing your soul along the way. Elvis’ Beach Bar, located on Road Bay in...

Watching the sunset over Road Bay in Sandy Ground, Anguilla is one of those moments in your life that remind you how lucky you are. It’s almost as if the beach around you is stuck on pause as the rest of the world keeps spinning on by. Scenes like this one, filmed on my last night in Anguilla, also remind me why I want a beach bar on a west facing beach. You can’t beat the show Mother Nature puts on each night and she won’t even...
The Best Rum Punch I’ve Ever Had

Walk into any beach bar in Anguilla or pretty much anywhere in the Caribbean and ask them for their best drink and you’ll be sucking down yet another rum punch. The reasons for this are twofold. First, every tourist orders a rum punch because that’s just what they think they should be drinking in the Caribbean (and I’m nothing if I don’t look like a tourist with my multitude of camera bags slung over every shoulder I have). Second,...
