Philipsburg, Sint Maarten's main town, is centred on a long, narrow stretch of ground that separates Great Salt Pond from Great Bay. There are some older buildings mixed among the new, but overall the town is far more commercial than quaint.
Most of the action is along Front Street, the bayfront road, which is lined with boutiques, jewellery shops, restaurants, casinos and the ubiquitous duty-free stores selling everything from Danish porcelain to Japanese cameras and electronics.
