Even though this is where we lived for a month back in 2002, I didn't pick it because I'm biased...
Of all the Anguilla beaches, it used to be that you would hardly ever see anybody here.
Barnes Bay was truly a secluded beach. The beach is more populated now that Viceroy Anguilla resort straddles both Barnes Bay and meads Bay.
Back in 2002, our villa was between two luxury villas that cost over $3,000 per night! Now, with Viceroy, there are many more high-end accommodation options on Barnes Bay.
Still, there are three great little snorkeling areas!
The beach is a wonderful fine powder, no rocks or coarse shells as some of the others have. And, as you can see, it's simply beautiful...
Most of all though, I really feel comfortable on this beach.
Maybe I am a little biased after all.
But you can't really blame me, with great memories like the ones below...
Of all of the 33 Anguilla beaches, these are my top 3. If you pushed me to name only one, I'd have to say Barnes Bay... but then again, I am biased.
Memories count, after all.
