    Sunday Afternoons Are Meant for the Sunshine Shack, Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla

    March 15, 2026 / No Comments

    It’s no surprise that on a Sunday afternoon on Anguilla, you’ll find us at Garvey’s Sunshine Shack, located on Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla. Just a short walk down the beach from Aurora Anguilla, you’ll find a “toes in the sand” beach bar with great live music. On Sunday afternoons, it’s Omari Banks, who we make a point of seeing every visit. Order some ribs or some chicken, and settle back with a beer and enjoy the music. The crowd was totally into the music and it was one of my favorite ways to spend a Sunday afternoon!

    Rendezvous Bay, Anguilla

    January 11, 2015 / No Comments

    There are a lot of lists of the best beaches in the Caribbean and the best beaches in Anguilla.  When it comes to Anguilla, you usually hear about Shoal Bay, and don’t get me wrong, it is a beautiful beach.  So is Meads Bay, and Cove Bay, and Maunday’s Bay.  I could keep going, but my favorite beach on the island remains Rendezvous Bay. It was our first beach on the island.  When we first visited in 2007, we arrived after dark.  I remember walking out on the balcony and seeing loads of stars, hearing the waves, and seeing bits of the surf in the distance, but it wasn’t until the…

    Garvey’s Sunshine Shack, Anguilla

    December 31, 2014 / No Comments

    A little extra bit of sunshine can be found on Anguilla’s Rendezvous Bay since our last visit in 2010.  New to the beach just east of the CuisinArt Resort is a wonderful beach bar with great food and drink and the friendliest service, Garvey’s Sunshine Shack. Our travel day to the island is always a bit of a marathon.  Drive to Chicago the night before, get up at 2:30 a.m., take the shuttle to O’Hare for a 5:00 a.m. flight to Charlotte, RUN to catch your connecting flight to Ste. Maarten (and I mean RUN, as it was ready to take off), take the van to the dock, take Funtime…

    Just Back from Anguilla!

    December 3, 2014 / No Comments

    We’re back from a very restful stay at the CuisinArt Resort on the beautiful island of Anguilla.  This was our fourth trip to the island, and our second stay at the CuisinArt.  The resort is located on Rendezvous Bay with views of Ste. Maarten/St. Martin in the distance.  This two-mile stretch of beach is great for beach walkers, and those who like to stop for a drink or two are just a stroll away from Bankie Banx’s Dune Preserve and Garvey’s Sunshine Shack. We sent out twenty rolls of film for processing today, and also shot loads of digital, so stay tuned over the next few weeks for posts from…
