How to take a day trip to Anguilla from St. Martin

Want to experience Anguilla while staying with us in St. Martin? Here’s a look at how to do it and our recommended activities.

For a day full of adventures, take the Public Ferry from Marigot or a charter right from the Anguilla/ St. Maarten dock by the Princess Juliana Airport, approximately a 20 – 30minute journey to Anguilla. Contact our concierge for car rental rates and have your vehicle await your arrival right at the Ferry Terminal in Anguilla.

Spend the day exploring Anguilla and its beautiful beaches! Navigating in Anguilla is easy just remember to drive on the left side of the road! Start off with exploring the East End by making your way to Shoal Bay Beach, a stretch of white sand with crystal blue water, paradise on earth! Be sure to take a walk down the beach, to go for a swim, and most importantly to relax and stop for a refreshing drink at either Tropical Sunset or Gwen’s Reggae Bar & Grill.

Make your way back to the West End and find the hidden arch for spectacular views on the ocean, ask our concierge for directions to this hidden gem! The view will make you want to go for a swim and your appetite by then should have kicked in! Make your way to Meads Bay Beach after taking in the views and relax at either the Blanchards Beach Shack or Jacala, where you can delight in either a casual lunch at the Beach Shack or a true French Fine-Dining experience at Jacala with amazing desserts.

After delighting in a delicious lunch and spending some time out on the beach at Meads Bay make your way to Rendez-Vous Bay and stop at Sunshine Shack for a Rum Punch and the most spectacular views of St. Martin. Return back to The Friendly Island of St. Martin/ St. Maarten after a full day of exploring! You can now check off another destination on your bucket list, it’s that simple to get there from St. Martin/ St. Maarten!

Want to go to St. Barts for a day? Here’s the best way to do it.

The best way to see St. Bart’s is by taking a boat charter from St. Maarten. Shop in Gustavia, eat at Nikki Beach and more!

If you ask any of us what the one thing you should do while you’re on the island is? Our answer will be A BOAT DAY! It is truly the best way to see the island and the surrounding islands. Our concierge can assist with finding the perfect boat for a day to remember!

This weekend was a private day-trip to St. Barths on the sleek and beautiful Midnight Express. Depart from the Porto Cupecoy Marina, the cross over to St. Barths is approximately 50 minutes, weather dependent.

Start with a stop at Gustavia and shop till you drop, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, Cartier – all duty-free! There are numerous places to have lunch, grab a drink and enjoy the scenery.

Get back on the boat and go to Shell Beach, the most unusual and unique beach on the island, it’s not a sandy beach, it’s a shell beach covered with millions of unique shells!

Head over to St. Jean and have a fabulous lunch at Nikki Beach, a haven for the world’s jet-set clientele! The food here is absolutely spectacular and the staff always brings energy to the scene. The music will be pumping, so if that’s not for you, just walk a little way down the white sand beach and enjoy some peace and quiet.

Lounge on the beach chairs or continue to venture to other beaches like Colombier Beach, an isolated beach that can only be accessed by boat or by hiking!
