Cap Shack...
Barefoot Luxury at Belmond Cap Juluca

 
 

Maunday's Bay, you always take my breath away!

Welcome to Anguilla's pearl, Maunday's Bay, one of the island's most beautiful beaches. A perfect semi-circle of powdery sand, here the Caribbean Sea glimmers the clearest shade of blue.

Belmond Cap Juluca spans the entire stretch of Maunday's Bay.

The luxurious resort is home to many exquisite fine dining restaurants. Cap Shack is its casual beach bar on the sand.

Set on the western edge of the beach, Cap Shack is the only restaurant directly on Maunday's Bay beach.

Welcome to Cap Shack

Today the restaurant has an open-air deck with comfortable tables and chairs overlooking the beach.

The atmosphere is effortlessly relaxed as the sea breeze flows freely and the views of St. Martin in the distance are simply spectacular.

Here the staff make you feel instantly at home, a feeling that is very common at Cap Juluca. We are always graciously greeted by our long time friend Terrence - we love to see his friendly face!

Now, time for a drink!

Cap Shack's cocktail menu is vibrant and tropical, filled with refreshing creations designed for sunny afternoons by the sea.

Two favorites? The Frozen Spritz and the Rosa del Sol...

The Frozen Spritz is a frosty blend of Aperol, citrus and prosecco. Bright, slightly bitter and wonderfully refreshing, it is the kind of drink that disappears quickly under the Caribbean sun.

The Rosa del Sol is equally delightful. Made with vodka, cranberry, raspberry and orange blossom, it is fruity, floral and beautifully balanced.

Cocktails in-hand, it is time to dine.

Dining at Cap Shack

Cap Shack's menu blends Caribbean flavors with beachy comfort classics. Fresh seafood, vibrant bowls and satisfying sandwiches make this one of Maunday's Bay's most enjoyable lunch spots.

We start with the seafood tostada...

Fresh conch, shrimp and octopus are tossed with lime, cucumber, tomatoes and creamy avocado. It is bright, refreshing and full of ocean flavor!

Seafood lovers will also want to try the Sandy Ground lobster roll.

Lobster roll at Cap Shack

A hefty serving of lobster chunks is mixed in a curried mayo and topped with pico de gallo, then tucked into a soft roll. Rich, buttery and packed with flavor. This roll did not disappoint.

From the salads and bowls section of the menu, choose from the tropical Caesar salad, island bowl with coconut rice and jerk seasoned chickpeas or the...

Tuna Poke Bowl

Tender tuna tataki that melts in your mouth is laid over sushi rice, papaya, edamame, avocado and a zesty passion fruit dressing. Each bite bursts with fresh flavor.

Light yet satisfying, the tuna poke bowl is a favorite!

If tacos are calling your name, the blackened mahi mahi tacos are a must.

Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos

Belmond's tacos are always impressive!

I mean, look at these...

Flaky mahi mahi is perfectly seasoned and paired with shredded cabbage and cilantro lime crema.

The crunch of the coleslaw... the savoriness of the cilantro lime crema... yep, this vibrant taco is a winner in our books!

Another popular option and my favorite for the afternoon is the tuna burger.

Slow-cooked tuna tail is seasoned with Caribbean spices and finished with a lovely tamarind BBQ sauce. It is bold, flavorful and a fun twist on the classic burger.

Each bite is an explosion of fresh flavors - this is tropical burger heaven!

Cap Shack's menu doesn't end there. It also features a flamed grilled section. One of our all time favorites?...

BBQ Glazed Spare Ribs

Glazed for 24 hours in an old rum BBQ sauce, they just slide off the bone!

Pair your main dish with one (or more ;-)) of the sides: Classic French fries, sweet potato fries, truffle & parmesan fries, Maduros Glazed Plantains or Leoni's famous brown coconut rice.

Lastly, and probably our favorite part of any lunch experience...

Cap Shack Iced Coffee Dessert

Cap Shack's desserts are a sweet ending to a perfect beach lunch.

Favorites include chocolate caramel creations, frozen cheesecake and playful tropical sweets served in charming jars.

We could not resist the Iced Coffee in a jar - hazelnut parfait, coffee syrup, coffee crumbs, Baileys cream, this dessert is well worth saving room for.

From tacos, to sandwiches, to burgers, all of Cap Shack's gourmet dishes are executed at a high level. All ingredients are prepared fresh every day and great pride and care go into each dish's preparation.
