Boardwalk, Front St, Back St, Old St????

[Cinders411]

I am a bit confused about Philipsburg. I am trying to get the, "Lay of the land". We have been to St. Martin but, always did ship excursions. My understanding is that there is a boardwalk where Great Bay Beach area is. Here you can rent chairs from Holland House. The next street is Front St and the next is Back St? Are the Yoda Guy and the casino on the street behind the boardwalk? After that are the shops on the next street? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Jordanaire left a pretty good map of the port in a post in another thread . The pdf map can be found at http://images.portshoppingmap.com/map-coupons/portshoppingspree/St-Maarten-map-coupon.pdf

There is shopping on all the streets in Philipsburg including the Boardwalk. The Boardwalk is pedestrian only, Front Street is one way traffic heading west to east parallel to the Boardwalk. That is indeed where Yoda Guy and the casinos are located. Back Street is one way traffic heading east to west and the street you go to to catch the bus to head out of town.

 

There are also a lot of places to rent chairs up and down the Boardwalk - not just at Holland House.
