Sunny Days at Sunshine ShackThere are so many reasons to love Garvey Lake and his beloved Sunshine Shack on Rendezvous Bay! Small, wooden, painted white, and decorated with local scenes and accented with reds, greens, and golds, the Sunshine Shack is a cute, humble watering hole.
It is an ideal spot for an afternoon, loved and frequented by many visitors to Anguilla. To start a Sunshine Shack beach day? Choose from Garvey's extra-special specialty cocktails! The Banana Bailey's Colada (aka the BBC) is one of our favorites...
Drinks ordered, what's for lunch? First up, the fish sandwich...
Grilled mahi-mahi on a soft bun with peppers, onions and a light tartar sauce. Juicy and full of flavor, this sandwich is a great pick for pescatarians. Next, a top pick...
The chicken & rib combo. Garvey's BBQ is unlike any other BBQ we have had yet! The tender meat is loaded with smokey, charcoal flavor. The best part? It literally slides off the bone. There is magic in Garvey's BBQ.

A generous bowl topped with juicy grilled shrimp, sweet corn, black beans, avocado, and pico de gallo. The cilantro-lime dressing tied everything together, giving each bite a tangy lift.

A Beautiful Dinner at Cip's By CiprianiIf it is seaside dining you seek, you cannot get closer to the Caribbean Sea than Cip's. Touching the water of Maunday's Bay, the lapping waves set a soothing tone for the evening to come. Through Moorish-style arched doorways, setting foot inside Cip's is like entering a Moroccan and tropical dream.
Inside the bar area, the room is lined with tropical bench-type seating for lounging. Rich emerald green and white is the color scheme of choice, bringing a distinct air of Venetian flair. A few steps away, the restaurant’s dining areas tier down to the sea. Sit closest to the water to be fully under the night stars.
The waterfront terrace also offers a refreshing sea breeze and breathtaking views of the water that reflect the lights of Cap Juluca. The menu begins with classic Italian antipasti, like the refreshing Burrata Caprese...
Creamy burrata from Puglia paired with heirloom tomatoes, extra virgin olive oil, and petite basil. A simple dish elevated by its fresh and flavorful ingredients. The menu transitions gracefully into 'Primi Piatti,' showcasing hearty Italian classics crafted with love, featuring house-made pastas prepared to perfection. This section includes the rich Ravioli alla Sorrentina, and the indulgent Linguine Aragosta & Gamberi Rossi with Anguillian lobster and Sicilian red prawns and highly recommended by chef was the Maccheroncino alla Norma...
Fresh maccheroni tossed with San Marzano tomatoes, roasted eggplant, and ricotta salata. This classic Sicilian dish offers a comforting medley of smoky and tangy flavors. Don’t underestimate this pasta dish! Seriously filling, it is packed with rich tomato flavor. Next, Cip’s selection of hand-crafted pizzas, where Italian tradition meets bold flavors! Highlights include the Margherita with fresh basil and mozzarella, the Diavola with spicy salami and chili oil for a fiery kick and Tartufo Pizza...
Featuring Umbrian truffle cream, “fior di latte” mozzarella, mascarpone, and Parmigiano Reggiano. This indulgent pizza is a truffle lover’s dream, with a rich and aromatic profile. Our #1 rule for dining in Anguilla? Always save room for dessert :-) Cip's menu offers a variety of desserts but my all time favorite from Cip's...
This tiramisu will never let you down. Topped with a dusting of chocolate powder - chilled and not too sweet, this is my idea of the perfect dessert. Almost too full to move, Cip’s left us completely satisfied! For a full read and YouTube video on Cip's, click here. Cip's is an Anguilla Card Partner.
