Water taxi to Great Bay beach. You can see it from the ship. Sometimes the taxi will dock on the right side and sometimes it will go to the left. If they let you off on the right, I would suggest you walk a ways down the beach. The last time we were there the water was murky on the far right.

Take a water taxi over to town, there's a nice beach there. Nothing right at the port except shopping.

Yes, you can take the water taxi for a few dollars.

The beach isn’t far from port. I recommend heading to The Lazy Lizard! It’s a beach bar and food place. They’ll have a beach section with chairs and umbrellas. The food is incredible! The drinks are amazing and the owners are fabulous!

Unfortunately, no. The closest beach is probably a ten minute drive away.

Great bay beach is right near the ship and in downtown philipsburg. Gonna spend some time downtown and the beach after my excursion. Plus the yoda guy museum is right there on Star Wars day too can’t beat that.
