Creator's Key Takeaways
From the port, it's just a short walk or water taxi to the famous Great Bay Beach.
It is a major stop for Caribbean itineraries and regularly welcomes many of the world's largest cruise ships.
The walk is relatively easy, flat, and pedestrian friendly and take between 15 to 30 minutes depending on your pace.
Philipsburg is compact and flat, making it easy to explore on foot.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓Pack sunscreen as the path to the beach and town is not shaded.
✓Consider using water taxis for a quick and affordable way to get to the center of Philipsburg.
✓Expect to pay around $10-$20 for a set of two chairs and an umbrella for the day at Great Bay Beach.
