We've covered Anguilla's beach bars, and now we are top-lining the beach restaurants that have more of a restaurant status than a bar status.
This list of Anguilla beach restaurants are not part of an Anguilla resort or hotel and in most cases, offer proper beach chair accommodation (with exception of the last three restaurants listed).
