Great Bay Beach

Great Bay Beach: Cruise Port Convenience & Sandy Day Sessions

4.8 (3289)

It is essentially your backyard if you dock in Philipsburg. The water is calm, but the sand is packed with cruise passengers early on. Secure a spot at Big Bastard’s for a reserved chair if you want a guaranteed base for the day. Avoid the midday crowds by walking further down the boardwalk toward the quieter end. Spend three hours tops, grab a cold beer at a beach shack, and skip the overpriced ship excursions.
