Shoal Bay is a beautiful beach. Elodia's was pretty full during our recent stay, but also depends on the day you are visiting. Think the chairs with umbrella are $10 for 2? Food is very good and there are other beach bars along SBE to visit. Mead's Bay is also nice and we love to visit Blanchard's Beach Shack. Chairs there were renting for $3 each. We have taken many day trips to Anguilla but now prefer to stay overnight. We use the public ferry. Cheapest option and pretty easy to use. Lots of taxis at Blowing Point that will take you wherever you want to go! We recently had friends who came over for the day to visit and the time went by very quickly! I can't imagine visiting more than one beach on a day trip. Anguilla is beautiful! Enjoy!
