scubaflgirl Posted July 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted July 15, 2017 I have read and read and can't make up my mind what to do here. Tell me your favorite thing to do for a day we will be in port for roughly 7-8 hours. Scuba diving the rest of the ports and a catamaran tour in Barbados.

OCruisers Posted July 15, 2017 #2 Share Posted July 15, 2017 You would probably really enjoy the "America's Cup Regatta". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lenquixote66 Posted July 15, 2017 #4 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Walk from the cruise port to downtown along the shore and walk back along the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to spend time on a Caribbean beach and St. Maarten has some very nice beaches with really good beach bars. Some on Simpson Bay beach and on Grand Case beach include the chairs and umbrellas if you purchase food and drink. Finish your day shopping on Front St or walking the boardwalk and stopping for a drink or two on your way back to the pier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyboy Posted July 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted July 15, 2017 If you have had enough of water activities in other ports, you may want to see the museums and shop around Philipsburg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsanTom Posted July 15, 2017 #7 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Find a bar and a few beers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubaflgirl Posted July 15, 2017 Author #8 Share Posted July 15, 2017 Little Divi Beach, Mullet Beach, or taxi to the French side and hit the pastries and beaches, that is what I'm struggling with. And of course a lot of adult beverages..;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare bedfordmom Posted July 15, 2017 #9 Share Posted July 15, 2017 How about the public bus to Marigot- go to the market, have pastries, and climb the fort Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karysa Posted July 15, 2017 #10 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) Little Divi Beach, Mullet Beach, or taxi to the French sideand hit the pastries and beaches, that is what I'm struggling with. And of course a lot of adult beverages..;) They are all fine choices. Just make sure that the beach you choose is not too off the beaten path if you need transportation back to the pier.

BOLTFISH Posted July 17, 2017 #11 Share Posted July 17, 2017 Hit up Speks Transportation and go wherever you wish! Good price and very prompt. Fitzroy the owner is the bomb and will take you to all the main sites. We were interested in a semi-island tour with beaches included- Spent an hour at Rainbow Cafe on the French side which had an amazing beach and then 2 hours at Sunset Bar at Maho beach. In between we shopped, stopped at historical sites, fed iguanas. Such a cool island with a great tour guide!

CruiseGal999 Posted July 18, 2017 #12 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Beach day go to Orient Beach in the French side Just know that Orient Beach is a nude beach. There will be people that enjoy walking around and going up to the bar, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerelmx Posted July 18, 2017 #13 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just know that Orient Beach is a nude beach. There will be people that enjoy walking around and going up to the bar, etc. Wrong, Orient Beach is not a nude beach, One resort near the beach nudist are permitted. The 3 times I have been there never seen people naked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted July 18, 2017 #14 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Exactly! I just can't figure out why this still comes up, as the Orient is Nude statement has been debunked here MANY times. Orient Beach is about 1.3 miles long. Only .3 of that is in front of Club Orient. Club Orient is a family friendly clothing-optional resort. If you visit there and don't want to get naked, no problem. gary p.s. Be careful if you Google Club Orient, as you might accidentally see some body parts and smiling children.

Tatka Posted July 18, 2017 #15 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Just know that Orient Beach is a nude beach. There will be people that enjoy walking around and going up to the bar, etc. It is only nude on the very left side (Club Orient with yellow umbrellas) In some reason water is the best there... we saw colorful fish without snorkeling. Other 4-5 beaches on Orient are not nude although you can see some topless women. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtaylor Posted July 18, 2017 #16 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Left side if you arriving by boat, Right side if arriving by land. gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatka Posted July 18, 2017 #17 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yes, you are right. We arrived by rented car, but I mentioned location if you are facing land. It is easily recognizable by the color of umbrellas (each beach of Orient Bay has own colors). And it is yellow for club Orient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicstress Posted July 23, 2017 #18 Share Posted July 23, 2017 We loved this all day tour in St Maarten. A little bit of everything! It's the 'popular tour ' We plan to do it again next year. We watched planes land at Maho from the boat. http://www.sxmboatcharter.com/ Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
