About Little Bay
Little Bay is a sheltered reef dive off Anguilla’s north shore that works well as an easy boat dive and a night dive. The site is shallow, with coral, rock, and a nursery feel that suits relaxed reef time, macro photos, and beginner-friendly exploring. Plan for boat access and occasional mid-day bustle, since the bay is popular and usually quietest early or late.
