From the Saint Martin World / Places
Great Bay Beach
Great Bay combines a sandy waterfront with the streets of Philipsburg immediately behind it. It suits a short beach stop between cultural visits rather than an isolated coastal escape.

Keep exploring Saint Martin with our travel partners.
The bay places the island's working cruise waterfront and its town beach in the same view. Boats, waterfront buildings and the curve of sand give you plenty to observe without leaving central Philipsburg. Combine a shore walk with a museum or Front Street visit rather than making another long transfer.
