We have flown directly into Anguilla and spent three days there on Mead's Bay at the Turtles Nest.
Absolutely a beautiful beach with plenty of restaurants within walking distance and a very good supermarket within a half mile.
Had private chef cook us a lobster dinner that was memorable. Chef Joseph Hodges. Very reasonable.
Dropped car off at Blowing Point and took ferry to Marigot.
Rental car company picked us up in Marigot.
With a longer stay we didn't miss spending a few days away from SXM.
