Snorkelling in Shoal Bay Anguilla Travel Postcard

Shoal Bay in Anguilla is often hailed as one of the most stunning beaches in the Caribbean, and it's easy to see why. This two-mile stretch of powdery white sand is lapped by some of the clearest, most turquoise water you'll ever see. The beach is broad and open, offering plenty of space to relax, stroll, or simply take in the view, and the gentle waves make it perfect for swimming. The reef just offshore also makes Shoal Bay a great spot for snorkelling, with vibrant coral and tropical fish easily visible in the shallow waters. What sets Shoal Bay apart is its perfect balance between tranquillity and charm. While it feels wonderfully uncrowded and peaceful, it’s also dotted with a few low-key beach bars and restaurants where you can sip rum punch or enjoy fresh seafood with your feet in the sand. There are no high-rise resorts here—just small, elegant boutique hotels and villas tucked behind palm trees, giving the area a laid-back but upscale vibe. Whether you’re watching the waves sparkle under the sun or catching a glowing sunset with a cool breeze, Shoal Bay captures everything that makes Anguilla such a beloved and exclusive island escape.
