Anguilla is the most envied island in the Caribbean for the caliber and quantity of its beaches. The most pristine of all, Shoal bay, is rated one of the world's best with its truly spectacular miles of long curving ribbon of white powdery sand held in the protective arms of crystal clear water. Snorkeling is realized in an abundance of sea life that thrives on the coral reef at beach's edge. Shoal Bay is located in a marine park with exceptional underwater biodiversity.

The package includes a 20 minute speed boat ride to Anguilla where a guided mini island tour awaits you to discover its unique treasures. You will spend the day at Shoal Bay with BBQ lunch, hammocks, paddle board and snorkel gear all included in the price! Enjoy the jaw-dropping beach, explore the reef, take nap in a hammock under the palm trees or rent a bicycle and discover the rest of the island! Additionally to our package, we have special events on Tuesdays and Sunday.
Lobster fest on every Tuesday
Every Tuesday we have a lobster fest which includes lobster lunch for no additional charge and we usually also have a live Calypso band playing on the beach!
Reggae party on every Sunday
Every Sunday there is a live reggae band on the beach! Best way to finish the week partying with your feet in the sand at one of the world's most exclusive beaches! If you still want tranquility, Shoal Bay is still large enough to get yourself some privacy.
