Meads Bay

Meads Bay is a sheltered bay on Anguilla's northern coast, characterized by a crescent-shaped beach with a large shallow lagoon system. The coastline faces north-northeast toward the Atlantic, with the bay's protected waters separated from open ocean by a sandy barrier and shallow reef formations. The turquoise coloration indicates shallow depths across much of the bay, with established marina infrastructure on the western side. The bay receives consistent trade winds but experiences limited fetch due to its enclosed geography, resulting in the reported rough-chop water conditions despite moderate wind speeds. Best conditions occur with easterly winds that blow side-shore parallel to the beach. This spot suits beginners and intermediate kiters due to shallow water, protection from larger ocean swells, and moderate wind reliability. Key considerations include navigating around the mooring field, understanding variable depths in the lagoon, and avoiding reef areas. Wind reliability at 55.6% suggests seasonal variability typical of Caribbean locations.
