Anguilla Caribbean Mansion Tour
Mead's Bay

Welcome to the beach that brought us to Anguilla, Mead's Bay. The Blanchard's book A Trip To The Beach inspired us to visit Anguilla. Their famous restaurant is found on none other than Mead's Bay!

Let's see where we are on the island...

The red dot (left) is Mead's Bay.

We round the Eastern tip of Barnes and approach the resort-hotel-lined, Anguilla condo-dotted, novel-famed beach of Mead's Bay.

At the Eastern tip is the resort once known as Cocoloba, now flattened after many unsuccessful attempts. Perhaps Viceroy will make it work.

The Sea Grape motors past the dolphin shows at Dolphin Fantaseas, bringing us directly in front of...

Frangipani Beach Club

Upon closer inspection, Frangipani Beach Club is something else! This Anguilla condo and hotel complex both rents and sells!

And Frangipani isn't the only one. Anguilla condos are quite popular on Mead's Bay. The next Anguilla condo/hotel complex?

Turtle's Nest Beach Resort

In between Turtle's Nest Beach Resort and yet another Anguilla condo complex, Carimar Beach Club, is Blanchard's restaurant.

You may recall their charming book, A Trip to the Beach.

They weaved such a sweet story, and gave Anguilla the sort of appeal that anyone would adore. My Dad included. After reading the final chapter, we were on our way.

Thanks to the Blanchards, we discovered our favorite vacation location!

Continuing to the Eastern tip of Meads, our round-the-island boat tour saves the best on Mead's for the last...

The Malliouhana Resort

My family and I have always felt a close connection with Malliouhana. There's nothing more magical than the sunset drinks enjoyed from those cliffs.

Mead's Bay has it all, including our introduction to Anguilla.
