Do i understand it that you have to take a water taxi to town and then get a taxi if you want to go to orient beach? No taxis's available at the pier?? Never been, so i am a little confused...:rolleyes:

The water taxi takes you to DOWNTOWN Philipsburg. The pier is on the outskirts of Philipsburg. There are plenty of taxis at the pier - so there is no need to take a water taxi.

Thanks for the info.....Didn't seem right that you would have to take two modes of transportation...:rolleyes:

St. Martin has a great area for catching taxi's. You just go and stand under the sign indicating where you want to go. It's clean and covered so you're not waiting in the sun. And they fill them up quickly so everything moves along well.

 

Oh just a tip......the taxi's charge per person not based on where you are going....... so because there's just two of us if no one is in line for the Orient Beach taxi, we wait a couple of minutes until there is a good group of us going.....that way the cost pp is very low.
