Pale sand meets a rugged stretch of coast, offering a quiet place to pause, watch the surf and enjoy the open horizon.
Limestone Bay is a small beach on Anguilla’s north coast, just east of Flat Cap Point. Its compact shoreline and rocky surroundings make it an appealing place for a picnic, coastal photographs or a quiet interval during an island drive. The experience is straightforward: bring what you need, find a comfortable place on dry sand and give the view your attention. It suits couples, photographers and small groups who enjoy spending time ashore. The bay also has documented sea-turtle nesting activity, adding ecological significance to its setting. Strong undertow makes swimming and snorkeling inadvisable, so plan the visit around the landscape.

Beach Guide
Limestone Bay rewards a visit planned around its modest scale. Set along Anguilla’s northern coast near The Valley, it offers a small pocket of beach within a rocky shoreline. A picnic, time with a camera or an hour spent watching the water can give the outing a satisfying focus. Pack lightly, bring drinking water and leave enough flexibility to move on if the surf reaches too far up the beach. The shore has a changing character. Anguilla’s 2016 beach-monitoring report describes a relatively narrow, steep beach, backed mainly by sea-grape vegetation. Monitoring began here in 1994, and the study recorded seasonal changes between sand and stones. This history helps explain why the shore in an older photograph may look different from the one you find on arrival. Sea turtles are another part of the bay’s story. Limestone Bay has featured in the Anguilla National Trust’s nesting patrol programme, and local reporting documented turtles coming ashore here in 2021. These records establish its importance as nesting habitat; they do not promise an encounter. Keep away from turtles and marked nests, avoid disturbing the sand around nesting areas and contact the Trust if you would like information about currently available guided conservation activities. For visitors, the water is best enjoyed as scenery. Published beach guidance advises against swimming and snorkeling because of strong undertow. Choose a dry place well beyond the reach of breaking waves, and keep children close if visiting as a family.
