A
walk around colourful Philipsburg
can be a refreshing source of retail
therapy for many. Just a short
walk from the port, cruise ship
guests are able to conveniently capitalize on
the many shopping opportunities available.
This Dutch island is well-known for its duty-
free shopping and walking along Front
Street makes it delightfully rewarding for
those seeking deals on watches, electronics,
jewellery and liquor, among other things.
The Boardwalk too makes for an interesting
stroll, after which you can relax at one of
the beach bars or other eateries located
here, while enjoying Sint Maarten’s sights
and sounds. Great Bay Beach is easily
accessible from the Boardwalk, so take the
opportunity to enjoy powdery-white sand
and warm crystal-clear waters amidst a
lively scene of locals and sun-worshipping
tourists.
