Creator's Key Takeaways

this is one of the ports where you do not want to stay on the ship you don't want to miss it it's absolutely beautiful and there is so much to do

Maho Beach is really beautiful and it is such a unique experience to see all these planes flying so low

I'd definitely recommend looking at the times and making sure you're there to see some big Airlines coming in it was so exciting

the water taxi was quite cheap I believe it was about $5 to get on it this was the boat that picked us up as you can see it's kind of mediumsized

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check flight times before visiting Maho Beach to see the big planes
Use the water taxi from Phillipsburg back to the port for a scenic and cheap option
Spend time on the French side of St Martin, including Marigot Market
