Philipsburg

Philipsburg sits on Great Bay in Sint Maarten, a Dutch Caribbean country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, where a narrow strip of land separates the sea from Great Salt Pond. As the territory’s capital, it is the administrative and commercial centre of the Dutch side of the island, with Front Street forming the historic spine behind the waterfront. The Courthouse on Front Street remains a familiar civic landmark, while the beachside boardwalk follows the curve of Great Bay. Fort Amsterdam, on the headland between Great Bay and Little Bay, recalls the island’s strategic colonial past. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Sint Maarten.
