Baie de Friars

Fodor's Review:

If it's solitude you want, this is the place. Popular with locals, Europeans, and shellers, this white stretch of sand has a couple of simple good-food restaurants, calm waters, and a lovely view of Anguilla. To get to the beach take National Road 7 from Marigot, go toward Grand Case to the Morne Valois hill, and turn left on the dead-end road; it's signposted. From Baie de Friars, you can climb the hill and walk on a trail about ¼ mi ( 1/2 km) through an abandoned resort to reach secluded Happy Bay.
