Not a lot of info on the St. Maarten board. There is a beach in Phillipsburg, literally 2 blocks from the main street. You can see it from the port. It is maybe a 1/2 mile walk around the bay to get to it, or a quick water taxi to a dock in the middle. From there you can rent chairs and umbrella with a bucket of beer. Several bars and hotels offer this. With competition prices aren't too bad. I Recommend the Holland House hotel. If more than 2 ships in port it can get crowded quickly.

Rare genealogyfan Posted April 25, 2023 #6 Share Posted April 25, 2023 I took the NCL beach excursion to Orient Bay beach. It was a great large beach. Nice facilities, nice restaurant with really good food. I'm sure it's easy to get to on your own. I would suggest to see if you go on your own, the option of renting lounge chairs and umbrellas.

I agree Orient is a very good beach. Very easy to take a van/cab for about $8/person each way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunkey1 Posted May 3, 2023 #9 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Orient Beach, go to Sunbeach Club, no charge for chairs/umbrellas if you purchase drink/food. Great service, drinks and food. Orange Beach Club is next door and nice as well, although they do charge for chairs/umbrellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
