Our second visit into Phillipsburg was more interesting than our first visit, simply because this time there were no time limits placed on us, so we were free to do as we pleased. Although we had been shopping in Phillipsburg previously, we decided we'd go back in each store we previously ventured in and take our time viewing what the stores had to offer.
Deciding to venture onto front street, to see what it had to offer and what was affordable because as previously mentioned in "Shopping in Phillipsburg pt. 1 " front street is for those who have money to spend freely without hesitation. Upon walking through front street and looking at each store, we happened to hear waves crashing and was wondering where exactly it was coming from, so we became curious and decided to follow the sound and we did which led us to this lovely beach.
The beach was absolutely beautiful and we were amazed that such a beautiful beach could be in the TOWN area. Upon asking around for the name of the beach, we were told it's name Great Bay Beach. We were simply amazed to the fact that there was a beach in the capital of the Dutch side of the island. As the day went on our bags got heavier and heavier with each store visited, but despite that, excitement had us going. At this point in time, finding a souvenir store was our objective which we did find buying some souvenirs as well as taking a few pictures.
After leaving the souvenir store, we walked around town finding the court house on the Dutch side, which at first looks like a regular house. Also learning about the historic courthouse which was built in 1793, being renovated several times over the years from being used as a jail, a fire station and post office, but is solely used today as a court of law.
