Sunshine Shack

Few restaurants embody the relaxed spirit of Anguilla quite like Sunshine Shack. Nestled directly on the pristine sands of Rendezvous Bay, this colorful beachfront restaurant has become one of the island’s most recognizable culinary landmarks. Guests come from around the world not only for the food but also for the atmosphere—where Caribbean music, turquoise water, and genuine island hospitality create an experience that feels unmistakably Anguillian.

At the center of it all is owner and chef Garvey Lake, whose larger-than-life personality and passion for welcoming guests have made Sunshine Shack famous far beyond the island. Garvey’s commitment to exceptional food, authentic hospitality, and creating lasting memories has transformed a casual beach restaurant into one of Anguilla’s most visited dining destinations.

The restaurant is especially celebrated for its legendary barbecue. Slow-cooked ribs, grilled lobster, jerk chicken, freshly caught seafood, burgers, and Caribbean favorites are paired with tropical cocktails and cold drinks, creating the perfect meal after a morning on the beach or an afternoon exploring the island.

Sunshine Shack’s beachfront location makes it a natural stop during a day at Rendezvous Bay, whether arriving by car or aboard a private yacht. The relaxed setting invites guests to linger over lunch, enjoy live music, meet fellow travelers, and soak in panoramic views stretching across the Caribbean Sea toward St. Martin.

No visit to Anguilla is truly complete without spending time at Sunshine Shack. Combining world-famous barbecue, unforgettable hospitality from Garvey Lake, and one of the island’s most spectacular beaches, it remains one of the defining dining experiences in the Caribbean.
