After the sand was washed away from under her original place, the 'new' Gwen's is as vibrant as ever and one of Anguillas's most beloved beach bars. Order at the bar, then salivate as Gwen chargrills fish, chicken, ribs and lobster. It's jumping on Sundays when Anguilla's famous Scratch Band performs reggae favorites and super-strong rum punch fuels barefoot dancing.
