While sailing on the chocolate for the day we stopped here for snorkeling and lunch. There are some beautiful reefs here for snorkeling and the lunch was fresh and the portions were HUGE!

We made our way to Prickly Pear Cays via an all-day sail with Sail Chocolat. There are several ways to get to Prickly Pear Cays, all via boat. I highly recommend Sail Chocolat. It is a catamaran that holds roughly 14 passengers. The crew is very knowledgable about sailing and very high on safety, so you are in good hands....

Prickly Pear Cay was very pretty with decent snorkleing. My husband and I stopped there on a day trip to Anguilla. There was a very pretty beach there to get a little sun.

Amazing water!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The food was delicious and so was the rum drinks ;) We took a boat there, ask for Captain Pepsi, he is the man and shows you so much on the way.

This is a absolute must for any visitor to Anguilla or St. Marteen. Allan and Susan (host and hostess) provide excellent food as well as cold drinks and great conversation. I attended a destination wedding here and for the experience of a life time if you are not married you should consider this "fairy tale" experience.

We visited Prickly Pear with Shoal Bay Scuba. We enjoyed the scenic beach and ate a very tasty grilled lunch at the restaurant, but the sea was a little too rough for snorkeling. Like a reviewer said below, I'd recommend checking the weather before you go. The water was too choppy to really enjoy swimming. That being said, I still...

The sailboat ride to Prickly Pear was a highlight of our vacation. Great snorkeling, a beautiful sailing trip, and a fine lunch. Watch out for the rum punch ... it packs a punch!

A trip out to Prickly Pear will be the highlight of your trip. Aside from the beauty of the island, Allan who tends bar at the Tiki Hut bar will keep your attention and provide you with laughter. Susan his wife is the chef and provides a wonderful assortment of island fare.

Went to Prickly Pear for the first time on 4/13. It was all that we expected and while the reef seemed in rough shape it was better than others I have seen and there were plenty of fish to look at that day.
Lunch at the restaurant was great, grilled chicken and ribs with the rice and lentils was excellent....
