What to see in Philipsburg

Philipsburg, the capital of Dutch Sint Maarten, is a Caribbean gem with a European touch. It's known for its vibrant streets, colourful colonial architecture and duty-free shopping. Sun-drenched beaches, crystal-clear waters and a range of water sports await, making it an ideal destination for relaxation and outdoor adventure.

Sint Maarten is renowned for its exquisite beaches and a cruise to this Caribbean gem wouldn't be complete without some quality beach time. Fortunately, Philipsburg offers convenient access to several captivating beachfront locations that cater to different tastes. The crescent-shaped Great Bay Beach stretches along the town's waterfront and is just steps away from the cruise port. For a unique beach experience, head to Maho Beach, located near the island's international airport. Here, you can witness the thrilling spectacle of commercial jets taking off and landing just a stone's throw away from the beach. A short drive from Philipsburg takes you to Orient Beach, known for its pristine beauty and vibrant beach scene.

Philipsburg exudes a vibrant Caribbean culture with a Dutch touch. Exploring the town centre provides a glimpse into its history, lively atmosphere and unique shopping opportunities. Front Street is the bustling shopping hub of Philipsburg, lined with a plethora of duty-free shops selling everything from jewellery and electronics to fashion and souvenirs. You'll find a wide array of options to indulge in some retail therapy or pick up a special keepsake from your visit.

Sint Maarten’s natural beauty extends well beyond its captivating beaches, offering opportunities for outdoor adventures and exploration. A short drive from Philipsburg takes you to Pic Paradis, the highest point on the island. Hiking trails lead to panoramic viewpoints, where you can savour breathtaking vistas of Sint Maarten and the neighbouring islands.
