We went to Gwen's this year because we liked it last year. We felt bad because the storm washed the beach away and you have to drive through the woods now to get to it instead of walking along the beach. The loss of business must be the reason that I spent $22 for two small cokes and a pina... More

We've been here a few times over the years. The best part of Gwen's is the Sunday entertainment. The scratch band is a lot of fun to listen to and will make you want to dance!! There is a great mix of locals and visitors here! The water looked very inviting, many were swimming. There are some hammocks to hang... More

Around the corner from the main beach, this little gem serves up consistently good chicken, ribs, and my favorite, grilled fresh fish sandwich. Cold beer, rum punch..what more do you need to round out your day on Shoal Bay East?

We didn't eat here but we had drinks and enjoyed the scratch band on a Sunday afternoon. Gwen's is so relaxing and everyone there had a blast. If you like to dance and listen to great music then this place is a must do on your visit to Anguilla.

Gwen's Reggae Bar & Grill is a great place to hang out while at Shoal Bay, which is one of the best spots on the island. Gwen serves an excellent fish sandwich, which comes with cole slaw, pasta salad, and fries. I generally dislike cole slaw ... hers is so good that I ate the whole thing. She makes her... More

We had a taxi take us over to the beach and wound up being the only ones on the entire beach. Very secluded but nice. Beach has taken a beating with erosion but still beautiful. Had lunch at Gwen's after and food was decent and service was good.

When traveling to Anguilla - heading to Shoal Bay East is a must, and when heading to Shoal Bay East, Gwen's is the only place to go. I (25 y/o on couple vacation) went to the other beach bars in Shoal Bay, but they do not even compare when it comes to ambiance, food, and good times (trust me no... More

My husband and I went to Gwen's grill 3 times on our visit to Anguilla. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the reggae band on Thursday a lot! The food is amazing my husband got the ribs everyday and could not stop raving about them. The rum punch was by far my favorite on the island! We... More

Gwen's Reggae Grill is one of the greatest restaurants located on shoal bay east, Anguilla. However I've seen that there has been some misunderstanding and slander of the owners' name. Many have been questioning the 15% that is added to their bill, that of course is the gratuity. Apologies to those that have been unclear about these comments. Hopefully I... More
