Sint Maarten Beach Hopping Mullet Bay and Maho Adventure

Philipsburg is the vibrant capital of Sint Maarten, the Dutch side of the island. It acts as a narrow bustling hub stretched out between the turquoise waters of Great Bay and the calm waters of the little bay.

The view from Cole Bay Hill (Harold Jack Lookout) is one of Sint Maarten’s ultimate photo spots, offering a stunning panoramic look at the island's landscape. From the top, you get a bird's-eye view of the massive Simpson Bay Lagoon packed with mega-yachts, the sweeping arc of Simpson Bay Beach, and the runway of Princess Juliana Airport. On a clear day, the islands of Saba, Statia, and St. Kitts sit sharply on the horizon, making it a spectacular stop for quick photos or a dramatic Caribbean sunse

Simpson Bay is the culinary and nightlife capital of Sint Maarten, stretching between a lively main strip and a massive yachting lagoon. By day, it's a major boating hub centered around its famous drawbridge, featuring a long, surprisingly quiet white-sand beach. By night, the main road comes alive as the island's premier hotspot for waterfront dining, bars, and live entertainment.

Mullet Bay is pure Caribbean paradise and a total local favorite! It’s a jaw-dropping stretch of sugar-white sand framed by sea grape trees, a golf course, and some of the most insanely clear, electric-turquoise water on the island. The swimming here is spectacular, and when the swells kick up, it becomes a prime playground for local surfers. With rustic beach shacks serving up smoky BBQ, cold beers, and local rum, it delivers the ultimate laid-back, high-vibe beach day!

Maho Beach is an absolute adrenaline rush and the most electric spot on the island! It’s world-famous for the insane thrill of massive commercial jets screaming across the sky just feet above your head to touch down at the airport next door. The beach is a non-stop party zone where thrill-seekers line the runway fence to brave the intense power of the "jet blast," while legendary beach bars blast music, serve up wild tropical drinks, and track flight arrivals on surfboards. It's loud, chaotic, and completely unforgettable!
