1. Shoal Bay East

    Anguilla has a reputation for beaches that makes other islands a little defensive, and Shoal Bay East is the reason why. The water is that impossible shade of blue-green that looks filtered even when it isn't, and the sand is the soft, powdery kind that stays cool underfoot. Beach bars dot the shoreline without crowding it, and despite being well-known, it never feels like it. Bring a snorkel.
