First few trips we did it by sea and then aside from 1 trip only have done it by land. Skipped it all together a number of trips too.

I think land is far more preferable. No time limit to worry about on the mooring balls (although most people seem to ignore that anyway unfortunately) and no having to swim in under poor conditions. You also get a great view of the island and can stop at many other places.

When we visit by land, we tend to spend two nights at Leverick. Thu/Fri typically. Thursay, dinner at Coca Maya and then Friday the Leverick BBQ. While out visiting the Baths, we often stop at Hog Heaven for a snack on our way back. Baths we usually have breakfast.
