soccer2010 Posted February 15, 2016 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Looking for a good beach that is close to cruise port. Interested in: * close to cruise port (avoiding traffic) * reasonable food & drink How far is Holland House Beach Resort? Seems reasonably priced.

cjackso8 Posted February 15, 2016 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If you take the water taxi to the boardwalk area, Holland house is easy walking distance from there. There are a lot of great places along Great Bay beach who will rent you beach chairs and serve food and drinks. When I stay in St. Maarten, we stay at the Sea Palace, which is the big pink building at the far end of the boardwalk. We have enjoyed food and drinks at most of the establishments in that area, and you can't go wrong with any of them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navybankerteacher Posted February 15, 2016 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Lots of places to eat and drink and rent chairs and umbrellas at Great Bay - where water taxi (or 20 minute walk) will get you. However, if you want to swim, you may want to go to Little Bay (possibly use Divi's facilities) just to the west -10 minutes by taxi from pier - because of occasional contamination of water at Great Bay.

brookeq Posted February 15, 2016 #4 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I would also recommend little divi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted February 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Little Bay is 10 minutes and Le Gallion and Orient within 25 minutes from port. I wouldn't swim in Great Bay due to ongoing pollution issues and therefore can not recommend it to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
