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!

The parking lot was packed, and we knew we were in the right place when we spotted this van. Omari Banks plays at da’Vida on Sunday afternoons. So not only do you get a nice meal, you get great music too! The setting is beautiful, especially on a gorgeous afternoon like…

We walked there from the CuisinArt (you could do that back then – the beach was wider). I remember being seated at the table just inside the easternmost door, looking out over the water. I had the jerk chicken (which I’ve had every time since), and heard The Musical Brothers performing, doing Christmas songs. I had found…

Even better than finding a great new beach bar is finding a great new beach bar a short walk down the road from the house where you are staying. The Beach House, located on Banks Road in Governors Harbour, Eleuthera, is just steps from the pink sand of French Leave Beach and offers some of the tastiest food and drink on the island. The Beach House is a comfortable place to kick back, with great views of the ocean. Our first visit there was for lunch our first full day on the island. It was described to us as a tapas restaurant, and my experience with tapas is that it…
