cove bay

Beautiful long beach to walk on. Very private and on spoiled as there is not a resort on this stretch of the shore.Lovely views of St Maartin, turquoise waters and soft sand. eat at Smokeys at one end and then walk the beach.

Cove bay is an isolated beach with no structure. If you are looking for a quiet place, this is it.....

This was the most beautiful beach I have ever been to. We went to Shoal bay as well, and didn't feel like Shoal was worth the hype. Cove Bay is quiet and underrated. The view of St. Martin in the background is beautiful! I would recommend spending a day here while in Anguilla.

The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. Smokey's has local music and great food. The view of St. Martin is fantastic.

There is nothing not to like about Cove Bay it's the best beach on the island!!! We spent 10 wonderful day's floating in the water and walking the beach!!

Smokey's is at the Cove. A great hang out spot!We usually travel to this quiet restaurant to grab a bite and head back to our hotel room.

We were the only two people on the Shoal Bay beach late in the afternoon of our arrival to Anguilla. It was a great spot to walk in the sand and take a little swim after a day of traveling. There really is no better way to get into vacation mode than your own private beach.

I really enjoy Cove Bay, but not for the beach. The restaurant "Smokey's" sits on Cove Bay and it is one of my favorites. They have seating out on their deck which is pretty close to the ocean or you can eat inside. They have pretty much every drink I love, including bushwhackers which are hard to find in Anguilla! The menu is very diverse so you never have a hard time finding something you like. They also have live music, but check their schedule first! We brought our daughter on this vacation and Smokey's was nice for her because they have a tire swing for kids to play on...plus a few more games. We were at this beach in Aug '14 and the water was very churned up and not fit for swimming. I'm not sure if it's always like that though. Regardless...I keep going back because I always have a nice time at Smokey's.

This is a beautiful beach with terrific views. Arrived by boat on the Funseaker trip from St Martin to Anguilla to eat at the local restaurant, Smokey's. Eating lunch there allows use of the beach chairs. So this is a great little stopping off place.

One of the prettier beaches on Anguilla, a long crescent of soft white sand. Another drawing card is Smokey's. Like many beach bars, they offer free beach lounging chairs and umbrellas if you stay for lunch which we did. Menu was typical beach bar, but the food was reasonably priced and very well prepared. There was live music in the afternoon. Hint: get there early to get the best beach chairs and spots on the beach.

This is a beautiful beach that appears to be mostly used by locals. Smokey's does wonderful coconut shrimp and is not picky about customers wearing shoes. The wind and current direction deliver lots of good shells and driftwood to this beach, so it's a wonder for beachcombers. A great place to relax or snorkel and catch a glimpse of stingrays.

Incredible beaches…really breathtaking. Recommend horseback riding on the beach and Cap Juluca for lunch.

Beach Restaurant, with couches and sun loungers. Fine white sand. Prestine, turquoise water. Absolutely Gorgeous!

if you want to have a quiet beach thing, cove bay is the place for you, either you bring your own towel and settle anywhere on the beach or get a chair from smokey's, if you eat or drink there, then you do not need to pay for the chair.....

Cove Bay is my favorite beach on Anguilla. A great view of St. Martin, quiet, secluded, and it is home to Smokey's on the Cove!
