Welcome to Long Bay Beach. What big beach in Anguilla is the hardest to find, yet the easiest to get to? Long Bay!

It's easy to get to, but only if you have a Land and Survey map. And once you walk on that beach, a single step and a glance around make the effort more than worthwhile.

Let's see where we are...

Long Bay is the red dot on the map to the left.

Long Bay is truly a spectacular beach! The second best big beach on the island, in my opinion!

My Mom on Long Bay...
The wide stretch of scintillating sand, the blowing palm trees, the phenomenal shade of turquoise in these particular waters...

It all adds up to an a atmosphere that is unforgettably unique.

The beach is also home to Oliver's, an excellent cliff-top restaurant. Order the roasted range chicken dinner for four, four hours in advance. Thank me after you eat it. It's absolutely delicious!

The Blanchards (authors of A Trip to the Beach) live in the area. But there are only a handful of villas, including the ultra-ritzy Temeno Villas.

Which means, lots of Caribbean real estate potentially available.

The usual strategies apply. Search for either...

• rocky oceanfront at either end of the sand, or
• inland, up in the hills, or
• a home that is for sale (make them an offer they can't refuse!).

Let's take a look at a few possibilities...

Waterfront view of the Eastern end...

Hmmm... Wonder if This House is For Sale...

Now, THAT is turquoise!
Isn't the color just out of this world??

It's amazing how a beach like this is so undiscovered!

We have never seen anyone else on this beach. Why?

Maybe because it's so easily bypassed from the road. Even if you are looking for it, it's difficult to find. But just follow the map. The road does not take you right to the beachfront -- you'll have to walk down a long path to the beach.

It's worth the effort. This beach area is unbelievable... perhaps the place that we'd most like to live (actually, they all are)!
