Is Saba worth visiting if you aren't a diver?

The Bottom

For a few years I've been wanting to visit St. Martin, and do a day trip to Saba, but it's quite expensive. The entire island is only like 4 square miles, but it's steep. It's part of the Netherlands and notable for having the highest mountain in the Netherlands. It's mostly famous for it's diving, lace, medical school, rainforest and world's shortest commercial runway. And also for being in the path of almost every hurricane. The Island has no stereotypical Caribbean beaches and only about 2000 people.

It's main appeal to me was its unique geography and the fact that it's so remote and unspoiled, and so few people know about it. But looking at it now, it doesn't seem as interesting as I thought. It was few noteworthy churches, museums, and some hiking trails, that aren't even that impressive and you can find that kind of stuff in other places. Looking at their towns, the architecture seems quite modern and boring. The main sites can probably be seen within a couple hours, if that.

I don't know, what do you guys think? Is this place worth visiting?

Can you go nude on the beaches (such as they are)?

Not on Saba. On neighboring St. Martin you can (on the French side)
