Bankie Banx himself might pick up a guitar and start playing at any moment, a driftwood compound on Rendezvous Bay where the music comes first and the rum punch is basically along for the ride.

Anguilla has the finest beaches in the Caribbean and some of its most genuine bars to match, and Sunshine Shack proves both claims with cold Carib beer and zero pretense.

Coconuts is the beach bar at Anguilla Great House, a low-rise cottage resort on Rendezvous Bay that is generally described as the more affordable option on that beach.

The Coral Beach Club sits at the eastern end of Rendezvous Bay and runs the full beach-club format: restaurant, bar, and chair service on the sand. In practice that means a food order or a day rate is the price of a lounger rather than a walk-up beer.

Breezes is one of two beach-level bars at the Aurora resort on Rendezvous Bay, the long south-facing beach that looks across the channel to St. Martin.

Love Shack is on Sandy Ground, the harbour village that is the closest thing Anguilla has to a nightlife strip: boats in the bay, Elvis’ a short walk along the sand, and music most weekends.
