Chefwoody Posted November 13, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 13, 2022 We have a stop in St. Maarten coming up in December. We’ve been there a couple times (both on cruises) but have always been part of an excursion of some kind. This trip we’re just “hanging out”. Not fond of the cheesy port stores/shopping, but a nice beach would be nice. Or an interesting hike perhaps?. Great food?. What have you done while in port at St. Maarten that you’d recommend we try?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted November 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Go to the airport and watch the planes take off and land. The beach is OK.... nothing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare crewsweeper Posted November 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Take the water taxi from the port and walk along the beach to Miguel's. You can then leisurely walk back to the ship or take the water taxi back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PORT ROYAL Posted November 15, 2022 #5 Share Posted November 15, 2022 If considering a day at Great Bay, remember this protocol. Off ferry, down pier, do not turn right towards the Marina (the raw sewage outfall - you’ll find out post or during rain), turn left, into Duty Free, purchase a bottle of one preferred spirit, exit duty free, turn left, keep walking until one finds pink umbrellas. This was the furthest point away from the Marina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
