Little Bay is one of the most hidden beaches in Anguilla, reachable primarily by kayak, boat or a steep descent with local guidance. Its enclosed shape and surrounding cliffs give it a calm, sheltered quality that sets it apart from other northern beaches. The water at Little Bay is known for its bright turquoise color and clear visibility. Because the cove is naturally protected, the sea remains calm on most days, making it ideal for floating, swimming and enjoying the peaceful setting. Little Bay features a small cliff ledge, often used by confident and experienced swimmers for short cliff jumps. The ledge is not high compared to other regional cliffs, but visitors should always enter the water with caution, check depth beforehand and avoid jumping in rough conditions or without clear visibility. Those who prefer to stay at water level can enjoy the cove's calm surface without participating in jumps. Many visitors reach Little Bay by kayaking from Crocus Bay, enjoying a scenic paddle along the cliffs. The short route provides excellent views of the coastline, and the arrival into Little Bay is one of the most photographed experiences on the island. Because Little Bay is secluded, visitors should bring water, reef safe sun protection and any essentials they wish to have on hand. The cove offers few shaded areas, so planning for sun exposure is recommended. Explore photos, access tips and local insights in our guide to
