Maho Bay, St. Maarten/St. Martin
TripAdvisor Traveler Rating:
TripAdvisor Popularity Index:
#6 of 79 attractions in St. Maarten/St. Martin
Maho Bay, on the southwestern shore, is Sint Maarten's main resort area. It feels a bit like the Las Vegas Strip: while little more than a block long, it's dense with multistory buildings housing exclusive jewellers, boutiques, art galleries, restaurants and a huge resort and casino. Maho Bay has a nice enough beach except that it's at the very end of the airport runway. The area is even marked with a sign warning beach goers that 'low flying and departing aircraft blast can cause physical injury!'
Attraction type: Bay; Neighborhood
