Port of St. Maarten Shuttles

Along the south shore of Saint-Martin Island, the city of Philipsburg is an oasis of the Caribbean and a major connector for the neighboring island of Anguilla. At its Great Bay is the Port of St. Maarten, a main gateway for experiencing the few blocks of historic city nearby. Get around town by utilizing either the Philipsburg Ferry Terminal down the street, or a modest bus line whose only downfall is waiting on a lax schedule. Travel down Juancho Yrausquin Boulevard with a transfer that’s easy to count on, choosing between a modest sedan or a spacious chartered bus to see the vibrant culture of the Arawak people, or consider one of many meet-and-greet services ranging from luxury limousines perfect for arriving to beachside resort restaurants in brilliant fashion, or go with a casual local personal driver who can offer the native’s perspective of surrounding landmarks as well as exotic natural flora.

With just a couple square miles of beachfront blocks, exploring the downtown area of Philipsburg can be an especially easy thing for those looking to get to know the day. Popular landmarks include the island heritage of Saint Maarten Museum, home to views of traditional Arawak artifacts ranging from poetry to photography, attached the nearby Guavaberry Emporium offers views of the island’s famed tradition of alcohol making. For something more sober-minded, walk through historic landmarks like The Salt Pickers, located along the north end of the city’s famed Great Salt Pond and doubling as a tranquil prelude to the relaxed ambiance of Pond Island. Continue further north for more natural getaways like the Rainforest Adventures of St Maarten, as well as the vast habitat housing exotic birds at Parotte Ville. And lastly, retire ashore with sunset views from the dramatic cannons of Fort Amsterdam, finally grabbing a bite from the port-side ambiance of Chesterfields Restaurant & Bar.
