We stopped at SXM on a Sunday on our TA Nov 2008. Almost nothing open in Marigot except for some food stands selling snacks, etc.

 

Some Phillipsburg stores are open but close by 3 or 4 PM. So get the shopping done early.

 

You could also check with the stores at the pier to see how late they will be open.

We honeymooned in SXM in 2008 and were there for a week. On Sundays the bigger stores were open, but the straw markets were deserted. The places like the coach store, the tablecloth stores, the liquor stores, the perfume and jewelry places were all open, but at abbreviated hours like the above poster stated. If you get out of Phillipsburg, pretty much only the airport/MAHO area has anything open.

 

At least that's how it was in 2008.

I appreciate the replies, my DH will be happy that many stores won't be open:( Not a shopper....

 

I guess we will be early at the beach:)

Many or most of the shops on Front Street will be open, depending on how many ships are in port that Sunday. They will close as the ships depart.

 

The shops at the Cruise Facility should be open. Twelve shops and twelve stands is the official count.

 

DH might be disappointed, as generally the husband receives free beers as the wife shops.

I will pass that info on to the DH just in case he starts to fuss about me wanting to do a little shopping. Thanks for the tip:D
