Entertainment & Nightlife

In high season, hotel resorts host barbecues, West Indian parties, and calypso groups and string bands, both local and imported. But for an immersion in the island’s lively music scene and a chance to hang with the easy-going, music-loving locals, ask around—much of the action is down at the bars in Sandy Ground, and things don’t really get cooking until after 11pm. Look for such popular soca/reggae/calypso entertainers as the Musical Brothers, Darvin & His DC Band, and the British Dependency. Dancing the night away—well, until around 2am, when things wind down—is absolutely de rigueur.

The island’s wonderful beach bars and grills serve great food and drink and feature live music at least 1 day a week. For a rundown on the perpetual favorites, see “Sun, Sand, Music & Barbecue.” Keep in mind that Anguilla has no casinos or other gambling spots—the local Church Council, which has its say in matters such as this, ensures that the island stays that way. If you feel the need for some casino action, St. Maarten and its 14 casinos are just a 20-minute ferry ride (and a short cab ride from the ferry port on St. Martin) away.
