We rented a paddle boat from da 'Vida and paddled our way over to Little Bay. There were two boats and a few people snorkeling. My only regret was not bringing our snorkeling gear (we left it at da 'Vida). This was our first time paddle boating, and it was a blast. Great experience and you get a different perspective the island. I wanted to climb the rock, but without shoes, it looked difficult with the sharp edge. Maybe next time. It was a cloudy, rainy day, but it had no impact on our adventures.
The boat trip to Little Bay was so easy, Calvin was really interesting and provided great service. Although the bay was a bit silty, we saw enough interesting stuff below and above water to make it worth the trip. Gorgeous little bay.
Little Bay should really change it's name to Busy Bay or maybe Crowded Bay. When we came here (with Calvin) it was lots of boats and snorkelers here. Some even from other islands than Anguilla. I guess this place is now so famous that everybody has to come here. There are many better beaches on Anguilla.
Gorgeous bay. Secluded. Decent snorkling. Cliff jumps and rope climb if you get bored. Go with Calvin. Just go to Crocus Bay and ask for Calvin.
Little Bay: the idyllic private beach you see when you Google photos of Anguilla. From the minute we started planning our trip to the island, we knew we'd have to visit this spot.We've been to a lot of beach destinations, and I can't say I've ever seen a spot that felt so magical, private, and serene.Little Bay is LITTLE, don't get me wrong, we were there at the same time as a family of 8, and it felt super crowded. Even still, it was peaceful beyond words.As everyone has said, find Calvin under the tree at Crocus Bay, and he'll take you to Little Bay for only $15/person. The trip is only 5-10 minutes long, and he'll pick you up whenever you want.Take water and snacks. There's truly NOTHING there but the beautiful beach and crystal clear water.We saw the rope that some people climb down to get to the beach, but there's NO WAY I'd risk it. It's basically a straight shot down the rocks, and it looks dangerous. Find Calvin. Pay the $15. Bring your snorkel gear. And prepare for one of the best experiences of your trip. You'd be silly to miss it.
Been to all the beaches. This one takes the cake. Going down by rope isn't that bad. Wear good shoes and it's no big deal. We will be going back here for sure
We had a hard time trying to figure out how to get to the bottom. :( but it was worth it. We had to take a local little boat, car was no good. The ride was beautiful watching the rocks and scenery... can be very crowded, but by the time we got there we found a private area on the rocks and sand. If you are staying longer, please bring your own supply of food and drinks, it's simply a beach as you see on the pics. There was no one hanging around to pick us up. Just a boat came by saying it's the last pickup, so we got on it.
We had heard about being able to access Little Bay via a hill/cliff above the bay. We found it and I just want to let you know that you will need really good shoes and be in really good physical condition to try this. To access the cliff you go through an opening in the trees and make your way down to a 'level spot' where you can look down on the beach. It is a beautiful view but be careful because there is no guard to keep you from falling if you slip. From this "level" you can walk further down where there is a rope attached to the cliff and you can climb down. We were talking to people as they were coming up and even though they looked like they were in top physical condition, they said it was a really tough climb.
Go to Crocus bay and use Calvin's boat service. He will take to little Bay. Nice man and personal boat service to the beach at Little Bay. He will come back and pick you up later. While in the area, stop by Davida on Sunday for lunch before you go to little bay, that way you can catch Omari Banks playing live while you are in the area.
This is a tiny little bay that you need a boat to get to unless you can scale down a cliff wall. Calvin will take you there for $15 each from Crocus Bay. He’s usually under a tree playing dominos so look for him – he’s easy to find. He drops you off and you tell him when you want to be picked back up and he’ll be there. We stayed for 1.5 hours and that seemed like a good time….2 hours would be okay but wouldn’t want to be there longer. This place has great snorkeling and a huge rock you can jump off of into the water – just don’t go all the way to the ground when you jump in as there are sea urchins at the bottom. Sea turtles and starfish are in the area. This was the place where I was literally surrounded by tens of thousands of fish about 1 – 1.5 inches long…small fish but very neat to experience.
