- Resort For A Day
Big Bastard's Beach Bar + Patio is a beach bar and club — not a traditional resort — positioned directly on the St. Maarten boardwalk. It provides full-service beach amenities such as chairs and umbrellas, alongside a patio area serving lunch and frozen cocktails. The venue caters specifically to cruise visitors looking for a lively, hassle-free beach day during their time ashore.
Big Bastard's is about a 7-minute drive or a 24-minute walk from the cruise terminal. Taxis queue at the pier for easy pickup. Heavy traffic can double the duration of the return trip, so leaving at least 2 hours before the ship's departure is strongly recommended. The address is 49 Front Street (Boardwalk), Philipsburg, Sint Maarten.
- Once the online purchase is complete, passes are delivered by email the same day. Print them and bring them along — they must be presented at check-in. Booking remains open until the day before arriving in port, but Big Bastard's Beach Club has limited capacity in St. Maarten, so reserving well in advance is wise.
