Philipsburg Suggested Trips

It is a busy cruise ship port, so it is best to know ahead of time when the ships are in and avoid the city. A better option is Marigot on the French side of the island. For an odd experience, watch the planes land and take off over the beach just outside of Philipsburg.

If you are into plane spotting, Maho Beach is the best place in the world to watch airplanes land.

While conch chowder is ubiquitus here, there are some genuinely good places. Near the main harbor there are eateries above the tourist shops serving good soup with a view.

St maarten has a good beach and one of the best places to shop duty free.for a spectacular view thou, I recommend Marigot, on the french side

find the coffee shops! remember amsterdam...
