Beautiful beach - blue water and white sand. What you expect a Caribbean beach to look like! Very little seaweed. As the beach drops off pretty rapidly so you need to be careful about getting in and out of the water and watch the wave sets carefully.

Located at the end of Maho Bay and also very close to the airport where airplanes fly right above the beach.
For those with an adventurous spirit, you have to visit the world famous Malo Beach. I wanted to experience the close landing jets and more importantly the jet blast of takeoffs...a bucket list item! Powerful blasts are few and far between since many were hurt and from what we heard, some killed. We waited several hours and saw many low flying jets. As for take-offs: We knew we were in for a trouble when the pilot waived at us as he readied the jet for take-off. He gave full thrust and we were instantly tossed like rag dolls. Apparently this does not happen often any longer since some died. “Get hammered by a jet engine at the St. Marteen airport blast fence ✔️.” Overjoyed!

The Yacht Club at Isle de Sol is St. Maarten's newest megayacht club. Isle de Sol is perfectly positioned near the Simpson Bay Bridge and has magnificent, highly secure and private surroundings; not to mention impressive facilities that will delight the most discerning yachters from around the globe.
We dined here several times for breakfast and the food is good and the location is wonderful, good times watching the big boats coming through the bridge to the lagoon and back out to the sea.

We definitely saw some lingering signs of the destruction wrought by Irma, but the rebuilding seems to be in its last stages. This is already a beautiful beach and it will only get better over the next few months and years. Given the number of facilities and their good reputation we expected it to be super-busy but it wasn't. We did visit in the low season, but the beach is very long and very wide, with lots of room to stroll up and down, enjoy the water, the white sand, and the scenery. Great bars and restaurants too! - I saw some reviewers complain about the seaweed and thought it was rather silly because all natural beaches can have some seaweed. However, a record-breaking sargassum seaweed bloom is taking place and it is definitely affecting these beaches.

Great beach with amazing snorkeling. If you’re there on a cruise it’s only $5 per person each way. You can rent two chairs and an umbrella for $15. Snorkeling is best off two the left along the rocks and steep rock wall. Great variety of fish. Beach is fabulous with a sandy bottom in most places. Variety of stuff to rent for fun

The Yoda Guy Movie Exhibit, nestled amongst Front Street's duty free jewelry stores, is possibly the most surprising enterprise in the Caribbean. Who would expect to find Darth Vader, Pinhead from HELLRAISER and Riddley Scott's ALIEN in St Maarten? But this unprecedented showcase has that and a whole lot more. There are displays that span six decades of movie making, relics from THE TERMINATOR, MEN IN BLACK and even THE MALTISE FALCAN. There's also an incredible collection of lifecasts, the actual faces of Hollywood stars, From Bogart & Brando, though Sean Connery & Jack Nicholson to Michael Jackson, Johnny Depp & Angelina Jolle. The collection is extended to include famous historical figures too… the actual faces of Abraham Lincoln, (cast 3 months before his assassination), Benjamin Franklin and George Washington, (cast in. 1778 and 1783 respectively by french sculptor Jean Antoine Houden), and death masks of both Oliver Cromwell, (1658) and Vladimir Lenin (1924). The Exhibit is the brainchild of Hollywood creature effects wizard Nick Maley, known as "that Yoda Guy" for his contribution to the creation of Yoda for the STAR WARS sagas. If you don't know who Nick is, just google his name. He made over 50 movies, including SUPERMAN, HIGHLANDER, KRULL & LIFEFORCE, worked with Hollywood legends like Sean Connery, Sir Anthony Hopkins and Harrison Ford, (you will see them all in the exhibit), was featured in CINEMAX and HBO specials, won a place in THE GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS and was nominated for an EMMY. Nick shares his professional perspective on the making of famous movies via DVD and, if you are lucky enough to find him there, he will dedicate purchases from the Yoda Guy Shop and do photos with customers. The Shop sells signed movie memorabilia, posters, antique STAR WARS comics, behind the scene photos and storyboards… unique autographed slices of STAR WARS history that become a legacy to pass on through the family. There's also Nick's celebrated Caribbean artwork, (exhibited in galleries in 18 countries and toured the world with UNESCO. Nick and his wife Gloria have created the Yoda Guy Movie Museum Foundation, a not for profit group to oversee the Exhibit's development. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to support the museum and visit a STAR WARS celebrity. It is recommended on all major cruise lines as a MUST SEE for art and movie fans.
The YodaGuy museum has a lot of Star Wars artifacts as well as memorabilia from many, many other movies such as Superman, Men in Black. There is something for everyone to see. Nick Maley, the artistic creator in many movies, including Star Wars, is often In the museum working on adding new items all the time, as well as his own creative island drawings. Come see the Star Wars storyboards, scripts, stormtrooper, the Emporer, and more! Take a quick tour of the museum looking at facial casts of Johnny Depp, Marlon Brandon and Michael Jackson and many many more. The shop has something for everyone and Nick is happy to sign them for you. Proceeds go to his charity. This was a highlight for us and is a must see in Philipsburg. Advance tickets are not required.
