At the east end of Anguilla you will find a remote beach on Savannah Bay in an area called Junk's Hole. This is the home of Palm Grove beach side Bar and Grill.
Palm Grove Beach Bar and Grill, a.k.a. Nat's Place, has been at Junks Hole for many years, but not without a disturbance from nature. Nat's Place was level in 1999 by hurricane Lenny. Nat Richardson and his wife Ethne are the owners of this establishment. You can't keep a good man down. Nat together with friends and family got started picking up the pieces right away and again Palm Grove was back in business. Lucky for us!
It may not look like much but that's what is so interesting about these isolated great finds. Palm Grove serves fabulous ribs and the best Johnny Cakes on the Island.
While you're there you can relax on the beach on Savannah Bay. It's perfect for an afternoon picnic, a walk or jog on the beach, swimming a few laps and even snorkeling. It's never crowded and is very peaceful.
While there, you will notice there are lots of little holes in the sand. Being from New England my first thought was, they must be clam holes. Nope! While hanging out on the beach, enjoying Nat's cocktails and food, I discovered something very cool. As the sun begins to cool around 4:00 in the afternoon you see little crabs emerging from the holes.
No fear, they are harmless. It's really very cool to watch. At first I was afraid I was going to be in a 'Twilight Zone' episode or something. It didn't take long to see they had absolutely no interest in me. In fact, if I moved a muscle, they quickly went back to their homes below the sand. So check out Palm Grove at Junk's Hole and Savannah Bay's beautiful beach, you won't be disappointed. |
