Cove Bay

Anguilla


Sea grapes hem in this fairly narrow sliver of sand along Cove Bay, a refreshingly undeveloped beach that's great for whiling away an afternoon in tranquility, at least if you keep your distance from the inflatable water park at the east end. The water is quite shallow and usually calm. Nearby Seaside Stables offers horseback rides along the beach.
