About six miles from Road Bay, Anguilla lies a set of uninhabited islands called Prickly Pear Cays.
During a recent sail trip, our Captain suggested we make a stop there to enjoy some time in the sun on a gorgeous, quiet beach. The backside of the Cays were rocky with little vegetation.
But…as soon as we rounded the corner….wow. A beautiful cove of clear vibrant blue water fringed by a long stretch of very white sand.
We could hardly wait to dive in an swim ashore. The Captain anchored close to the picturesque point.
After lounging in the water and enjoying the floating bar, we took our time kicking and floating our way in to the beach.
And enjoyed exploring the small cay. There’s a small beach bar called Prickly Pear Bar & Restaurant where you can grab some food and drink, watch the sugar birds and lizards and lounge in the beach chairs.
We spent most of our time that day walking the sugar sand beach and floating in the calm water.
Excursions to Prickly Pear are available either from Road Bay, Anguilla or neighboring St. Maarten/St. Martin. Snorkeling was good out a little farther at the reef, but we had a hard time keeping our head under water when the view was so beautiful above….
