1. Stay at the grand Case beach Club
Nice hotel, caring staff, pristine beach!
You can just relax in the plush cushioned chairs in the shade of trees, or lie on the soft sandy beach in the sun. Go for a swim & see lots of pretty starfish.
You can also go snorkling & wakeboarding! The watersport staff is ready for you.
2. Eat on the french side of the island
The food is sooooo good, its like being in Europe.
Sunset Cafe and California were my favorite...and they do take usd for euro at par, its amazing quality for the price.
3. Scuba dive in Phillipsburg
Scuba Fun was our dive operator. They are fantastic...very accomodating and helpful.
Nice new dive boat and interesting sites varying from coral formations to historical wrecks.
4. Go spend an afternoon at Maho bay to see the planes land
Its a thrill!! I didn't think it would be all that special but I was wrong...Pretty unique feeling!
5. Go shopping in Marigot
Bargain on the street market or visit shops in the West indies mall.
There is something for everyone.
6. Take a day trip ferry to Anguilla
Go see more amazing beaches and go swim with dolphins. Its a wonderful experience for anyone.
7. Watch the sunset
Sunsets were stunning from Grand Case...sit back, get the camera ready and sip on the island made flavored rhum : Mango, Passionfruit, coconut, chocolate...My favorite definitly Banana-Vanilla!!
