Anguilla Beach Lovers


Issue #088, May 20, 2015

We may be about one month early, but it's sure starting to feel a lot like summer here in Anguilla.

Those crystal-clear seas...

Beaches all to yourself...

Restaurants, too, in many cases!...

Ah, yes... the reasons we love summer in Anguilla are many.

And, so, I'm excited to share a new article we have put together...


20 Reasons to Take a Summer Vacation in Anguilla

Reason #1? The glassy-calm of the sea, of course :-)

Bump-free, it shines something special in summer and makes for excellent under water visibility and ideal SUP conditions...

With Anguilla Watersports as your guide and the ocean as calm as a pond, navigating the normally rough waters that surround the likes of Viceroy is easy and effortless.

Water shimmering underneath your board, it's a beautiful time of the year to get up close with Anguilla's waters and shorelines.

Reason #2? Most restaurants and shops stay open through the off-season, unlike in other seasonal destinations (ex., Cape Cod).

Temperatures are moderate (rarely going above 90F), the vibe is ultra-relaxed and there are plenty of exciting events including the Anguilla Open and the event of the year... Carnival!

For the full list on why summer is our favorite time of the year in Anguilla, visit...

On that note...

A "Road-Side" Bite

This year, two new restaurants receiving high ratings opened up on Anguilla's "road-side."

Both in unexpected locations, De Cuisine and Sarjai's have been on the tip of just about everyone's tongue as must-try's...

De Cuisine

Denise Carr and Joash Proctor, of the former SandBar, have created a modern-chic oasis just next to Geraud's in the strip mall.

In a beautiful setting, the real reason for their accolades is Chef Denise's innovative cuisine!

A true culinary journey, the tight menu features a select number of items, all prepared with careful attention to detail.

Think: Red Cooked Pork Belly and Tuna Tartare, Foie Gras Mousse, Rillette of lamb with honey glazed eggplant, brunoised roasted carrots, onions and garlic with fresh mint yogurt.

More on De Cuisine.

 

Sarjai's

At a more moderate price-point, Sarjai's has become a favorite for simpler cuisine prepared perfectly.

The 10 oz. NY Steak Au Poivre with Aunty Joan's homemade curried fries...

The Warm Coconut Pie with vanilla ice cream and ginger caramel sauce...

... are two of our favorites!

It is owned and operated by Chef Darren Connor. Famous here in Anguilla, he is known for "bringing home the gold" from all of the regional culinary competitions, including the most prestigious, "Taste of the Caribbean Culinary Competition" in Miami.

His true passion has long been to open an excellent spot of his own and he has done just that!

More on Sarjai's.

Summer Beach Fun

Last, but certainly not least, we have been having a lot of "on" Anguilla's beaches this month at Anguilla-Beaches.com.

First, Shoal Bay East has taken the lead as Anguilla's #1 beach as voted by you!

Anguilla is known far and wide for being home to the best Caribbean beaches. From CNTraveler to ISLANDS Magazine, Anguilla's specks of pristine sand have graced the likes of high-profile magazines for decades.

And so, earlier this month, we asked you...

Out of the island's 33 beaches, which one is the best?

To cast your vote, visit...

https://www.anguilla-beaches.com/best-caribbean-beaches.html

Second, we are putting your Anguilla beach IQ to the test over on Facebook!...

Only 4 of the beaches in the photo collage above are Anguilla beaches.

Can you spot them? :-)

ID the 4 beaches and, if you can, name the beach, too.

The first person to correctly ID all Anguilla beaches wins a free Anguilla Card, too!
