Incredible information. This is what I had mind mind with my request. I've been watching the Sunset Beach webcam to curb (or elevate) my excitement of our upcoming trip. It's wonderful. Great to know about their merch. I'll have to give Tortuga a try, I like the off the beaten-path type places.

I'm not a 'shopper' so with the other comments I may avoid Philipsburg for the most part. And I'd like to avoid the cruisers.

Great tip on the radio station. I'll try to tune-in ahead of our trip to learn more about the innerworkings of island life.

Thank you!
