Taxi
From Blowing Point Ferry Terminal or Clayton J. Lloyd International Airport, the most direct way to reach Black Garden Bay is by taxi. Taxis are readily available at both locations. The ride will take approximately 25-40 minutes depending on traffic and the condition of the unpaved road leading to the bay. Taxi fares in Anguilla are fixed and not metered. As of July 2025, a taxi from Blowing Point Ferry Terminal to the North Valley area (near Black Garden Bay) costs around $25-$30 for two people.

Rental Car
If you plan to explore Anguilla extensively, renting a car is a good option. Several car rental agencies operate on the island. From the airport or ferry terminal, follow signs towards the main road and then to North Valley. Note that the final stretch to Black Garden Bay involves driving on an unpaved road, so a vehicle with good clearance is recommended. Car rentals vary in price depending on the vehicle type and rental duration. Expect to pay around $40-$60 per day for a basic car. To rent a car in Anguilla, you'll need a valid driver's license and must purchase a temporary Anguillian driver's license for $28, valid for three months.
