Traffic and parking are impossible.

5/5 - Excellent

Boardwalk is nice but the haggling was annoying

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Philipsburg is not all the way back yet after the hurricane. Too many closed up/dilapidated hotels/restaurants. The beach in Great Bay is nice and clean though.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Lots of good shopping, I felt safe walking around all day

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

Too many sales people try to push everything.

The days vary widely based on how many ships come in. Many of the beach bars and restaurants start closing down around 4, and Phillipsburg is pretty quiet by 6pm.
