Transit Coordinator Tips: Maho Beach
Maho Beach is known for plane spotting, but visitors should follow posted warnings, avoid unsafe areas, and plan transportation timing carefully before ship all-aboard time. Plan a generous return buffer, especially for longer routes, beach days, traffic, weather, tendering, or group delays.
If traveling with a large group, negotiate shared shuttle vans at the port dispatcher desk to save on per-person transport rates. Keep cash (USD or local currency) on hand for taxi transfers.
