St Maarten-St Martin Guide

Cities

Dutch Side

  • Phillipsburg - Dutch side capital where the cruise ships dock.  Great duty free shopping and lots of restaurants, not a lot of nightlife. Great bay beach is here. Check out Front Street.
  • Simpson Bay - Dutch side, the crossroads of the island.  Has lots of restaurants, timeshare and is central to everything.  The major marina is here.
  • Maho - Dutch side.  Next to the airport.  Party central for the island.  Restaurants, casinos, bars, nightclubs.  Lots of action, lights and noise but very fun. Beach has crazy low flying planes. https://www.google.com/search?q=maho+beach+st+maarten&espv=210&es_sm=119&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=SckhU7nwMsXqoASawoDICg&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAg&biw=1427&bih=870
  • Dawn Beach Eastern Dutch- French border. Quiet beach, nice villas, next to Westin but 15-30 min drive from everything.

Oahu

Oahu Guide

Things to do

  • Duke Kahanamoku Lagoon on Friday for Fireworks
  • Hike Makapupu Point
  • Hike Diamond Head
  • Kailua Beach & Lanikai Beach - my favorite beaches! so beautiful and near eachother. Kailua is longer stretch, easier for parking. Lanikai is worth it though to figure out parking and go to. We usually do Lanikai first, then move over to Kailua in afternoon.
  • North Shore + Shrimps!
  • Happy Hour @ Sheraton Waikiki (cute outdoor area on a deck with view of ocean for drinks/pupus)

  • Kaanapali ** Lovely long stretch of beach, not too crowded.
  • Sugar beach - Super quiet beach
  • Keawakapu beach ** Less crowded version of Wailea beach
  • Mokapu beach park (in front of Andaz Maui)
