Shoal Bay attractions -not only sun & beach
If you want a small, serene, secluded, and exclusive island, this is the place for you. Instead of high rises, one local commented, you get "low-rise dreams" here, referring to the posh inns. Anguilla (rhymes with vanilla) used to tout itself as the Caribbean's best-kept secret. Those days are gone: The news is out. But you still get tranquillity here. Shoal Bay East is Anguilla's most famous beach. It features powder white sands and visitors can enjoy swimming, snorkeling and glass bottom boat rides. An array of beach bars and restaurants, as well as a number of nearby resorts, offer plenty of libations and general opulence. What to do here? Swim, sun, and stroll miles of stretches of beach. Rendezvous Bay and Maundays Bay on the Caribbean, and Meads and Shoal Bay East on the Atlantic, are exceptionally lovely with sugar soft sands and calm turquoise waters. At Shoal Bay East, kids snorkel the close-in reef or walk along the sands looking at the tiny silvery fish caught in the tidepools. Various outfitters offer sailing, fishing, and boating adventures. Dolphin Fantaseas offers swimming encounters with the friendly creatures. On Sunday afternoons, Uncle Ernie's, a longtime beach eatery, serves heaping plates of barbecued chicken to tourists and locals. Teens and parents play golf at the Temenos Golf Club, Anguilla's first 18-hole course, which opened in November 2006. Another spot children love is Play-A-Round, a complex with mini-golf, bumper boats, and a climbing wall. Malliouhana's open-air restaurant combines French and Caribbean cuisine, offering memorable meals of crayfish and vegetable ravioli with lemon basil sauce, lobster and crab pancakes, or poached lobster with ginger and Jamaican spices. Blanchard's fusion cuisine features swordfish with toasted corn dressing and jerk shrimp in a special hot sauce. Just right for a leisurely lunch, Trattoria Tramonto serves homemade pasta and Mediterranean-style red snapper on café tables set along the nearly-deserted sands of Shoal Bay West. Straw Hat's tuna with Asian noodles is to die for, as is their seared Anguillan red snapper with lime, ginger, and saffron. Hibernia, in the northeastern hills, specializes in French-Asian cuisine with a Caribbean flare, using fresh local foods |
