April 5, 2022 Russell Mellin

Philipsburg is the capital of Dutch St. Maarten, a Caribbean island divided into Dutch and French (Saint Martin) sides. Bargain seekers flock to the duty-free and sales-tax-free stores of Philipsburg's mile-long commercial district. Visitors also enjoy the city's art galleries, historic forts, casinos and zoo, as well as Great Bay Beach and its boardwalk. Offshore, on the 12 Metre Challenge, guests can work as part of the crew on one of five boats used in the 1987 America's Cup competition.

We stopped here after our 6-hour boat excursion since they said we could have a complimentary ice cream. That sounded good to cool off after a day of sun and beach and snorkeling! It was!! Plus, a very nice gentleman greeted us at the door and offered us some cheese samples - delicious! I asked what smelled so good when we walked in, and there was another gentleman pulling freshly baked cookies out of the oven (!). Needless to say I bought a bag of those. They are scrumptious almond flavored cookies, a little crunchy around the edges, but soft in the middle. And I don't even like almonds, but these are SO tasty! Lots of people were buying bulk cheeses to send home, but we found some cute Dutch souvenirs like cows and tulips to take home. Then you can hug their big cow statue out in the parking lot if you'd like too! ** Great little store -- highly recommended **
