Little Harbour

Discover Little Harbour

Little Harbour sits on Anguilla’s south coast, east of Blowing Point and west of Corito Bay, facing St. Martin. It is a separate destination from Little Bay, the cliff-framed cove near Crocus Bay on the northern coast. Specifying the full name when arranging transport helps ensure the right arrival. The enclosed shape of the harbour is its defining feature. Offshore reef and rock formations reduce incoming wave energy, creating a relatively sheltered inner basin. The beach is short and narrow, and the shallow water invites a gentle swim when conditions are suitable. Allow for changing weather and check the entry before entering the sea. There is also interest beneath the surface. A government-commissioned marine assessment published in 2018 recorded seagrass within the basin and entrance channel, with algae, occasional corals and sponges on surrounding reef structures. These observations describe the bay’s marine character at the time of the survey; they do not establish present-day visibility or guarantee wildlife encounters. Avoid disturbing vegetation and marine life. Waterfront villas are a notable part of the setting. Le Bleu and Indigo, operated by Little Harbour Estates, offer private accommodation overlooking the Caribbean. For families or groups staying locally, time beside the bay can form part of a relaxed villa holiday. Any chef service, swimming deck or recreational equipment belongs to the individual property’s arrangements and should be confirmed directly. The shoreline also carries traces of an earlier chapter in Anguilla’s tourism. The former Cinnamon Reef resort stood here; an April 2026 report described its remaining restaurant and other facilities as non-operational. Older dining recommendations for the property should therefore be treated as historical. For a day visit, confirm the current beach approach and parking arrangements locally, and bring water and sun protection. Plan lunch separately from the beach stop. The harbour’s small scale rewards a leisurely look across the water, with the rest of the afternoon left open for exploring the southern coast.
