All the beaches are free and each is very unique French side clothi g optional though. The lolo's (barbeque sharks) in the Gran Case are very good and inexpensive. If your staying more than a day take a day tour (4 hrs a vg.) with Happy Harold or any day tour gives a great look at the whole . A hike out to the Dutch Fort ruins outside Philipsburg is free and gives great views back the city. Shopping in Philipsburg is free unless you buy :)

Tip From Someone Who’s From Sint Maarten. Bus fees are $1.50 for adults and $1 for children. The only time that you’ll have to pay more is if you’re going from Maho to Philipsburg (It’s $3.00 for adults and $2.00 for kids). Don’t let the bus drivers rip you off sometimes they like to do that.

Great tip, we asked how much it would be from someone else before getting on the bus. And confirmed with the bus driver before we got in.

A lot of great ideas! We're going for the 5th time in 2023 and taking our teenage boys (well, 20 and 16 by that time). We rent a villa and I love the idea of a pool day as an activity as our villa has a beautiful pool, view and it's a great way to cut down on expenses. I would add a day trip to hike over to Happy Bay. It is a beautiful beach and a really fun activity for the day. Pack a few Carib's and a lunch and sit under a palm tree and enjoy this gorgeous secluded beach with a beautiful view of Anguilla. People watching at Orient is another great "free" activity even though we end up spending money on a great lunch, drinks and water sports for the boys. Lastly, taking a tour of the island in the early morning ( I always rent a car for the week so it's not technically free) is my favorite part of the week! I LOVE seeing all the school kids in their vibrant different colored uniforms going to school each morning. Cheers! I appreciate the video.

Also, you can rent a small car for 50$ for the entire day inclusive of all taxes. Which is cheaper than the 4 hour tour plus it’s very easy to drive in St. Maarten !

I found it through TripAdvisor - I can't remember which one but it was one of the more popular/highly rated ones when I searched.
