Friarīs Bay (also called "Anse des Pčres"), North of the French capital Marigot, is a pretty, small, family oriented beach. The bay is well protected from the swells, and attracts also a few boats. For its calm waters, Friarīs Bay is an ideal, peaceful beach for families.

There are three beach bar restaurants on Friarīs Bay, and they all organize theme nights, Barbecues, and private parties. Their "Full Moon Parties" are legendary and are not to be missed! Click here for the section of French restaurants to look up the three restaurants. The one in the middle, Friarīs Bay Beach Café, has live music on Sundays from 6.00 to 9.00pm and offers late lunch from 12 noon to 5pm. So, spending a day at Friarīs Bay can be fun for all family members!

It has a fair amount of sand, beautiful seashells to collect, and a good view of the neighboring English island Anguilla. Facing the west coast, Friarīs Bay has also lovely sunset views.

To get there, take the main road N7 from Marigot heading North towards Grand Case. A few miles off Marigot, follow the sign for Friarīs Bay and its restaurants, and turn left onto the dirt road. The ride will get a bit rough and bumpy at the end.... Once you get there, you will see the beach restaurants at both sides of the bay, and the small beach in between. But there are not many people either. Especially on weekdays it is a very quiet beach as mostly local people go to this beach on Sunday only.
