“Sip, Sun, and Serenity: Experience Sint Maarten’s VIP all-inclusive Beach Day at Big Bastards!”

At Big Bastards Beach Bar & Restaurant, you’re not just visiting a beach; you’re stepping into a tropical playground.

Situated on the Philipsburg Boardwalk, this quirky hotspot owned by two fun-loving quirky Canadians is famous for its Sint Maarten VIP Beach Day Experience.

Enjoy the ultimate beach day with unlimited drinks, plush chairs, and friendly service from $79 per couple until 4:30 PM.

Keep the fun afloat with their playful pink flamingo and orca floaties, perfect for a splash in Great Bay’s turquoise waters.

Hungry? Their menu is a feast for the senses! Indulge in Freak Fries; smothered with white cheddar cheese, BBQ Chicken, homemade ranch dressing and towered with three chicken wings. Or bite into a fresh Caesar Salad Wrap, or savor their tender, slow-cooked Pulled Pork Sandwich.

Don’t miss out on frozen cocktails like the Guavaberry Colada, paired with ocean views and served right to your beach chair. Beyond the sand, their cozy patio offers a perfect spot to unwind with a drink in hand.

Have a chat with the owners and enjoy their fun story on how they ended up in the Caribbean; they are never shy for a conversation.

With their all-inclusive drink package fun times are guaranteed and people really get together on the beach!

Big Bastards combines vibrant energy with beachside serenity, making it the ultimate spot for day-trippers and locals alike.

Ready for a memorable day? Your flamingo awaits!

Combine with a day in Philipsburg:

Visiting Big Bastard’s is a great option to combine with shopping in Duty-Free Philipsburg, enjoying the Caribbean atmosphere on the Boardwalk and the many historical sights, such as the Courthouse, Old Methodist Church, Heritage Museum, and much more. Or go over to Fort Amsterdam, for amazing views over the entire bay which you can enter from the Divi Resorts (mention you go to the Fort; you cannot be denied access; there might be a small parking fee).
