The map below shows Meads Bay.
Meads Bay is one of Anguilla's top three best big beaches, next to Rendezvous Bay and Shoal Bay.
It shores are smooth, long and wide (for Anguilla standards). The sand seems to stretch forever! Its waters are turquoise and clear. Some days they are calm, inviting, hardly a ripple on the surace. Other days, they challenge you. In winter months, waves here can reach 8'+! If you're a surfer, keep an eye open for good waves.
If you stay on Meads Bay, there is plenty to do. The shore is lined with many hotels and villas (from the super high-end to the affordable) and plenty of options for dining. Businesses here rent beach chairs, and some water sport equipment, too.
Despite the fact that it is one of the most popular beaches, it is never crowded. Meads Bay affords great peace and tranquility.

Description: Turtle's Nest Beach Resort is comprised of contemporary and bright apartments.
There are 1 bedroom units, 2 bedroom units, 3 bedroom units and studio. The rooms are spacious and nicely decorated, complete with a full kitchen, many household appliances (including washing machine), Wi-Fi and television.
Turtle's Nest Beach Resort provides all of the comforts of home.
Perhaps the most enticing aspect to Turtle's Nest is the view. Their buildings are tall and offer some of the most panoramic views on the island. That being said, there is no elevator, so you must walk those stairs to get to your unit.
The resort is located in the middle of the beach. Chairs and umbrellas are set up daily. There is a pool on site, too.
It gets even better! Turtle's Nest is an Anguilla Card Partner - you save 10% more when you use your Anguilla Card to book.

Description: Towards the quieter side of Meads Bay, the Eastern side, lies Carimar Beach Club.
Carimar is made up of a series of charming two-storey buildings. The hotel offers beach-front and beach-view units. Units are either one or two bedroom, and are complete with air conditioning in the bedrooms, a full kitchen and comfortable living/dining space. Additionally, each unit has its own balcony or private terrace.
The location is hard to beat. This side of Meads Bay is noticeably quieter and calmer than the Western side. Beach chairs and umbrellas are always at the ready.
A beach-front room is the room to book. Beach-view rooms also offer nice views of Meads Bay, and the surrounding gardens are lush and well-manicured.
The staff is attentive, kind and willing and able to help you with any part of your vacation planning.
There is also a tennis court on site.

Description: Meads Bay Beach Villas is loyally-loved by many.
With only four units, this hotel is intimate and incredibly private. Most can't even spot Meads Bay Beach Villas from the beach. It is quite "tucked away."
The four units are made for comfortable living. Each "villa" has its own private pool, a full lkitchen, living/dining area, and two bedrooms. The decor is more contemporary and familiar, with slight tropical inspirations. I can see how repeat guests settle into Meads Bay Beach Villas for good. The resort was even featured on HGTV.
Villa 1 is set the closest to Meads Bay. This unit has a front-row seat to Meads Bay in all of its glory. The villas set further back have smaller views of the sea. The garden view is also pretty. Meads Bay Beach Villas has some of the most impressively lush gardens on the island.
Lastly, hospitality. This hotel's service is personal and five-star in many ways. Meads Bay might be majestic, but it's the people and a feeling of family that keeps visitors coming back.
