Great Bay Beach Boardwalk

The Heart of Philipsburg

The Great Bay Beach Boardwalk is the lively spine of Philipsburg, a tiled promenade tracing the curve of the bay between powdery sand and a parade of shops, bars and eateries. This live webcam looks out from the Blue Bitch Bar & Taloula Mango's across the open-air walkway.

Beach and Sea

To one side stretches Great Bay Beach, its soft sand dotted with swaying palms, loungers and beach umbrellas facing the clear Caribbean water. The gently arcing shoreline frames the sheltered harbor of the Dutch capital.

Dining and Nightlife Strip

The boardwalk's seaward edge is packed with beachfront restaurants and cocktail bars, their brightly hued umbrellas and stools spilling toward the sand. It is a magnet for strolling visitors and a centerpiece of island leisure.

Cruise-Port Capital

As the commercial core of Sint Maarten, this stretch links the beach with Front Street's duty-free shopping and the nearby cruise terminal, making it one of the busiest meeting points in the eastern Caribbean.
