There is so much to do here on the Island
Too much to mention.
Scuba diving around Proselyte Reef.
Snorkeling and swimming and body boarding
Windsurfing at Orient Beach and Coconut grove.
Para sailing of Orient Beach
Sky Diving at Grand Case airport
Hiking – there are 25 miles of clearly defined footpaths running through the hills and along the shore.
Horseback riding
Best Beach for a Half-Day Visit : Mullet Bay
Best Beach for the Dedicated Beach Bum : Orient Beach , aka Baie Orientale, technically, is located in St. Martin but it’s an easy taxi ride from Philipsburg. The beach has a section for nudists as well as more crowded areas. You can rent water gear and beach lounges, and there are numerous bars and food shacks. Windsurfing is good here and you can rent equipment.
Best Beach for Active Types : Dawn Beach for snorkeling and body surfing.
Secluded Beach : Cupecoy Beach , which has caves and rock cliffs, has lots of private nooks and crannies and Dawn Beach for snorkeling.
As St Maartens is 100% duty free almost anything. Best buys would be electrical goods, cameras ,gold, booze and cigarettes
Golf on the Dutch side at Mullet Bay .
Diving
you can rent the equipment at the scuba shop in Simpsonbay

stay away from the vendor they are very persistent on this island…. the island itself is a gem… I love St Maartens… I just don’t like the harassment of the vendors…..
