Creator's Key Takeaways

The beach itself is not the most relaxing atmosphere and it can get pretty crowded but it does offer some great views and watching ples take off is entertaining as well.

If you're looking for a quieter Beach experience experience I'd suggest mullet Bay Beach which has a beach bar bathrooms for paying customers and lots of parking.

We were usually the only ones in the bus with maybe one other passenger but if you don't feel comfortable taking the bus you can always run a car or take a private taxi to get to your destination.

The best part is it was free.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Visit Maho Beach on your own to save money on tours.
✓Bring your own towel or blanket to avoid chair rental fees at beaches.
✓Bring your own snorkeling gear to make snorkeling free.
✓Visit restaurants at the end of the boardwalk for cheaper drinks and food.
✓Check for deals that include drinks when renting beach chairs and umbrellas.
