点评:What a grew day at the beach!
We were on Wonder of the Seas, sailing 5/11-5/18. Having been to St. Marten several times, via cruise, I wanted to experience another beach that we’d never visited. I saw the LIVE cam from Simpson Bay Resort of the Kim Sha Beach area… looked quiet, with calm waters, and a nearby beach bar ( or two ) to provide drinks/food. Kim Sha Beach was the answer! An easy 25 minute taxi from the port ( $8 each, $24 total for3 people ). The day we were there, there were yellow, blue, and tan umbrellas lined up on the beach. A very nice lady named Mandy greeted us ( tan umbrellas ). $30 for a few chairs and an umbrella. Perfect. Easy, zero entry into the water, no water shoes required. If interested, jet skis, stand up paddle boards, kayaks, etc., were available for rent. Or… bring your own floats ( as we did ) and float in the crystal blue waters for the day. Mandy arranged for a cab back to the ship ( give yourself plenty of time if more than one ship is in port ). Plenty of time for shopping at the port before returning to the ship.
Bring plenty of smaller bills for cabs, food, drink, chair rental, etc.
翻译:海滩上真是美好的一天!
我们乘坐的是“海洋奇迹号”(Wonder of the Seas),航行时间为5月11日至5月18日。我坐邮轮去过圣马丁岛好几次了,所以想体验一下另一个我们从未去过的海滩。我看了辛普森湾度假村(Simpson Bay Resort)对金沙湾海滩(Kim Sha Beach)地区的现场直播……看起来很安静,水面平静,附近还有一两个海滩酒吧提供饮料/食物。金沙湾海滩就是答案!从港口打车25分钟就到了(每人8美元,三人共24美元)。我们去的那天,海滩上摆满了黄色、蓝色和棕褐色的遮阳伞。一位名叫曼迪(Mandy)的非常友好的女士迎接了我们(棕褐色遮阳伞)。几把椅子和一把遮阳伞30美元。完美。很方便,无需下水,也不需要穿水鞋。如果感兴趣的话,可以租水上摩托艇、立桨冲浪板、皮划艇等。或者……像我们一样,带上自己的浮板,在湛蓝的海水中漂流一天。Mandy 帮你安排了出租车回船(如果港口停泊着多艘船,请预留充足的时间)。回船前,记得留出充足的时间在港口购物。
带上足够多的小额纸币,用于打车、吃饭、喝水、租椅子等等。
