Creator's Key Takeaways

Just disembarked off the ship. Today, I am in St. Martin.

The beach here is is decent. Lots of free beach chairs.

It's not a bad walk uh, coming here into town.

There's also past it on the way walking in. There's there's quite a few places where if you wanted to uh rent, you know, scooter or ATV or even a car.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Keep your head on a swivel and watch where you're walking and driving.
✓If you're not interested in shuttle offers, just say you're not interested.
✓Consider taking a water taxi or taxi to avoid the mile walk into town.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Walking a mile along a busy road to town — It's a decent walk, mostly flat with a sidewalk; consider a taxi or water taxi if preferred.
Sun exposure during the walk — Be aware of sun exposure; in summer, consider other options like a taxi.
