Sandy Ground
Sandy Ground has beautiful white sand beach. The beach is fascinating to stroll - past local fisherman, visiting yachtsmen, sun-burned tourists, children playing in the sand and gourmet restaurants. The village of Sandy Ground is Anguilla’s main port for ships and also nighttime activites. The long curved beach is lined with high cliffs and a salt pond behind. The harbour is usually filled with all types of fishing boats and pleasure boats.

Captains Bay
Captains Bay is on the north coast just before the eastern tip of the island. This quarter mile stretch of perfect white sand is bounded on the left by a rocky shoreline where Atlantic waves break spectacularly. There is one home, a large one, at this remote spot. we do not recommend swimming at Captains Bay: the surf can be dangerous (and never swim alone at a remote beach.)
