What beach is this?

Watching the webcam of the port. What beach is in the photo? It looks nice! Would the wonderful island professionals on this board recommend?

Would one recommend? No - Too busy :eek:

Looks like Great Bay, towards West end, in front of Philipsburg - with cruise ship in port at the left of picture. Convenient, but busy beach - with sometimes questionable water quality.

What do you mean by questionable water? Dirty?

It is clearly labeled Holland House, which is on the Boardwalk/beachfront at Great Bay Beach.

Thanks .. I clearly didn't see it labeled otherwise I wouldn't have asked ;-)

Webcam:

Zoomed in yes I can see that. Thanks for zooming in to show me. But in my defense when you sign on and the website has a ton of ads and writing, my eyes weren't drawn to the small print under the port name (as in my picture)

I guess I should have deduced from the photo posted that you were on a phone, but on the computer based view, it is quite clear, and the view in much more detail. I noticed on the website (even from my tablet) that there is a credit, "In Association with Holland House Beach Hotel".

We spent 4 hours at this beach and it was stunning! Clear blue water! Nice guy to rent chairs from! Going again in March. Never saw any sewage overflow but guess that would be a great way to keep everyone else away!
