Great Bay Beach - Looking for Info

[tmocker]

I'm planning to spend a day at Great Bay Beach in St. Maarten. Does anyone know of any fun activities there?

wave runners?

water trampoline?

restaurants?

Beach Umbrellas & Chairs?

Thanks.

Great Bay beach is very convenient to the ship. You can take the water taxi from the pier and pay one price (about $5) for unlimited access back and forth. As to the specifics:

Wave runners - Yes

Water tramp - I'm not sure, but I think so

Restaurants - Yes

Chairs/Umbrellas - Yes

The beach is adjacent to downtown Philipsburg, so there's plenty of options for food and there are restrooms convenient to the beach. I like the "uptown" stop of the water taxi, the one furthest from the ship.
