Beautiful beach.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

No excursion. Easy to get to beach and shopping area with water taxi. Nice beach area with plenty of restaurants near by. Local vendors are persistent and approach you often on the beach. Would prefer if the vendors were able to set up an area where you could go over to view their goods and services without being bothered every 5 minutes by their sale pitch. However once you said no the same vendor did not approach again. The problem is that another vendor would approach. It made it hard to relax as they kept coming by.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands
