best places to visit in Sint Maarten
Maho Beach
Maho Beach is a beach on the Dutch side of the Caribbean Island of Sint Maarten.
Visitors can sunbathe on the sandy shores and swim in the warm waters of the Caribbean. However, Maho Beach’s main attraction is not in the sand or sea but in the air. The beach is right next to Princess Juliana International Airport and is a popular site for tourists and plane watchers, who visit the beach to watch aircrafts’ final approach and landing on the runway. Whether you’re a seasoned plane spotter or just in search of a unique beach experience, Maho Beach is the place to be.
Philipsburg
Philipsburg is the main town and capital of the country of Sint Maarten and functions as the commercial center of the island.
Front Street is the town’s main shopping district. Visitors can get excellent deals on jewelry, China, and even local liquor at the Guavaberry Emporium. Front Street is also home to the Coliseum Princess Casino. For a less-bustling shopping experience, head to Old Street. Old Street is a picturesque district with historic buildings that hosts small shops, bistros, and plenty of photo opportunities including an iconic yellow car beloved by tourists.
