Discover more about Cove Bay

Cove Bay is a stunning, relatively undeveloped beach nestled on the southwestern coast of Anguilla, offering a tranquil and unforgettable Caribbean experience. The bay is characterized by its soft, powdery white sands that gently slope into calm, shallow turquoise waters, making it ideal for swimming and wading. The gentle ocean breeze and captivating views, including glimpses of St. Martin on clear days, enhance the serene atmosphere. Unlike some of Anguilla's more bustling beaches, Cove Bay offers a secluded and intimate setting, perfect for those seeking a peaceful getaway. Sea grape trees line the back of the beach, providing shade and a sense of seclusion. The bay's calm waters also make it suitable for windsurfing. Historically, the area around Cove Bay has Amerindian presence. More recently, Cove Bay was home to Smokey's At The Cove, a popular family-owned restaurant and bar. While Smokey's is now closed, Cove Bay remains a beautiful spot to experience a quiet side of Anguilla.
