Creator's Key Takeaways

we highly recommend sunscreening before you get off the ship and make sure you've got all your some production

we really enjoyed walking around it's a very Charming yet small area with tight streets and its nice brightly painted buildings

the beach was great and for adults it does drop off pretty quick so you don't have to sit and to be submerged you can just walk on in

we highly recommend just pack your stuff ready for the beach and you can decide what you want to do

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pack sunscreen before disembarking due to lack of shade
Bring a towel for beach chair rentals
Consider the water taxi to Great Bay Beach for a quick trip

YouTube Video Description

Today we are revisiting the Dutch side of St Maarten, at the Philipsburg cruise port, we willl update you on any changes we noticed but more specifically we’re venturing a little bit outside of the port. We are taking the water taxi to Great Bay Beach St Maarten to show you around and help you decide if St Maarten Cruise Port is one to explore, book an excursion or one to skip entirely and enjoy the nice, quite ship! St. Maarten, or rather the Harbour Point Village which is right at the end of the dock hasn't changed too much since we last visited it, however it's definitely got busier. Our cruise port tours always tells you what is right at the port. At Philipsburg St Maarten Cruise Port you can do lots of shopping, meet up with your excursion group, get a taxi or take a water taxi. =-= Merchandise =-= Checkout our brand new merchandise we just launched.
