Although it is very difficult to choose I regard this as my favourite beach in Anguilla and always visit every time I return to the Island

This is a great beach to swim. The water is calm and you can walk out a fair ways before you can't touch the bottom. The umbrellas are only complimentary if you eat at the restaurant but the chair guy said just give him whatever tip you want. Be careful with that. Make sure that the chair guy doesn't double...

Loved this beach for swimming and sunning. And our group thought it has the best place for lunch on the beach- Smokies.

This was my favorite swimming beach. The current and surf were gentle, so it was easy to swim here. The beach itself is gorgeous...soft white sand, stunning view across the bay. Complimentary loungers and umbrellas.

Took small boat from our house over to cove bay area and snorkeled for lobsters. A lot of fun and even better dinner! Earl and his friend taught us how to fund and snare them. Views were beautiful and waters very good for the day.

Cove bay was in a scenic area and of course the water beautiful. However with sooo many beaches in Anguilla it wouldnt be my first pick. Smokeys is down the way of cove bay. Looks like a nice place to eat. You can dine overlooking the water or have a complimentary chair whole you dine or have a drink. The... More

Cove Bay is one of our favorite beaches. The water is blue, calm and was warm like bathwater - at least the time we were there in July this year. I liked that the water was relatively clear (not as clear as Shoal Bay East though) and there weren't bunches of rocks to walk through. My husband must have loved... More

Anguilla has so many gorrgeous beaches that are ideal for relaxing and swimming. The part of Cove Bay that is close to Smokeys restaurant is very pretty.

Small beach with lots of seawood lying on the sand. Very unimpressive compared to Shoal Bay or Rendevous beach.
