Capture memorable moments of our eastern shoreline. Oyster Pond unfolds in quiet beauty, where calm turquoise waters meet lush green hills and a peaceful marina tucked into the shoreline.

Coralita Beach

  • 10m
Experience the famous “Moses Walk” at low tide, where shallow waters allow you to walk across the sea to a small, rocky islet, creating a magical, biblical-feeling experience. It’s serene, natural and memorable.

Orient Bay

  • 1h
Soak up the sunshine at Orient Bay, one of the Caribbean’s most famous beaches. With its long stretch of white sand, crystal-clear water, and lively island energy. This stop is perfect for swimming, relaxing or simply enjoying the view with your toes in the sand. The southern end of Orient Bay is famously clothing optional, while the rest is family-friendly with amenities and watersports.

Grand Case (Pass by)

Drive through Grand Case, affectionately known as the gourmet village of the Caribbean, where colourful Creole homes, seaside restaurants and everyday island life paint a picture of relaxed French-Caribbean charm.

Marigot

  • 45m
Your discovery continues in Marigot, the French capital where open-air markets buzz with activity and waterfront cafés invite you to slow down and savour the moment. Overlooking the town are the historic ruins of Fort Louis, a former French military stronghold that once protected the harbour and surrounding coastline. Today, the fort offers sweeping panoramic views and a meaningful glimpse into the island’s colonial past, proving that St. Maarten has just as much history as it does beauty.

Maho Beach

  • 45m
The grand finale awaits at world-famous Maho Beach, where excitement truly takes flight. Watch as massive jets glide in low over the beach before touching down just beyond the shoreline, an adrenaline-filled experience that’s as thrilling as unforgettable

Topper's Rhum Distillery

Cole Bay Lookout

From the Cole Bay Lookout Point, the island stretches out in sweeping blues and greens, with Simpson Bay Lagoon shimmering below and rolling hills framing a panoramic view that feels both peaceful and expansive.

Philipsburg

  • 30m
Philipsburg, the Dutch capital and duty-free shopping hub. Explore the town. Browse jewellery stores, cigar shops, souvenir boutiques, local crafts, rum, and spices, try Caribbean Street food and local delicacies, or simply take in the vibrant rhythm of city centre life that gives Philipsburg its unmistakable island energy.

Amsterdam Cheese and Liquor Store

  • 10m
Sample the finest imported Dutch cheese. Wines, liquors, and other Dutch delicacies available for purchase.
