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.

You'll find a wide array of options to indulge in some retail therapy or pick up a special keepsake from your visit.
