What to do with 8 ships in port?

[kittyluvrnurse]

What should we do if there are 8 ships in port, two them being "MEGA?"

We aren't in to being inundated with people, nor hip to hip on a beach with someone... Our original plan was to wander into town and enjoy St. Philipsburg beach, but I bet about 2K of our closest friends might be thinking that too...

WWALD? (What would a local do?)

Thanks!!

One place you do not see locals is the beach in Philipsburg called Great Bay Beach. Although I am not a local I do not swim in there either and haven't for many years now due to pollution concerns.

 

Reserving and renting a car and heading North is what I would plan to do. Anse Marcel and Grand Case are the areas that I would travel to on such a port day.

 

I would also look in to a boat excursion that left from near the pier. Combining a half day snorkel, lunch at Chesterfields and a stroll down the boardwalk to town and then over to Front and Back St for some shopping would be another great day to me.

It will be a nuisance trying to walk the congested streets in town and if you've been before, I'd stay on the ship and enjoy a day aboard.

 

With that many people, restaurants and stores and sidewalks are so crowded, it takes from the fun, IMO

Do you think going to st John will circumvent large crowds??

Do mean Anguilla or do you think that you posted this on the St. Thomas board?

Try twinislandexcursions.com art gallery tour for something different and fun. We enjoyed it on a previous trip.

Would go to grand case, the food is out of this world, gorgeous water..... Off beat shopping...no Rolex

 

Look at tripadvisor.com

 

We were to do a day pass at raddison ....I don't think they are crammed with ship passengers...but it rained all morning, so we changed plans.
