Hi PP
My wife and I did a day trip to SBE on Anguilla and we both enjoyed it immensely. Absolutely breathtaking colors.....dreamlike.
We took a cab from Blowing Point to Madeariman and had a very nice visit with the driver. Wonderful man that loved talking about the sights and history of Anguilla. He returned in the afternoon to take us back to the ferry terminal.

My advice would be to do a day trip first, see what you think, and then decide if it would be worth the money to stay for a few nights the next visit. I've considered it, but I have a real hard time pulling myself away from Orient Beach.....lol. BTW, lodging is pricey....along with everything else.

Ya gotta do it once, though.
