Things to Do in Marigot

Open-air market along the waterfront selling spices, hot sauces, local crafts, and fresh fruit. More relaxed and genuine than the Philipsburg counterpart.

🕐 Mon–Sat 7am–1pm, Sun 8am–12pm

💡 Best on Saturday mornings when local bakers sell pâtés and johnnycakes. Cash only, and haggle gently on souvenirs but not on food.

Small public library with a reading room and occasional local art exhibits. A quiet, air-conditioned break from the heat.

🕐 Mon–Thu 9am–5pm, Fri 9am–4pm, Sat 9am–1pm

💡 Ask at the front desk about free weekly storytelling sessions or craft workshops. Donations welcome but no pressure to pay.

18th-century fort on a hill above Marigot. Small but gives you a commanding view of the bay, the lagoon, and Anguilla across the channel.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Go early morning before 9am to beat the heat and cruise ship crowds. The walk up is steep but takes less than 10 minutes.

Narrow sandy beach with calm, shallow water right in town. Backed by a small park with benches and palm trees. Perfect for a free dip without a sunbed rental.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Best for a quick swim between errands. Go at high tide when the water is clearest. Avoid after heavy rain when runoff discolours the sea.

Paved path running along the marina and bay. Connects the ferry dock, market, and several cafes. Good for a seaside stroll with boat-watching.

🕐 Open 24 hours

💡 Walk it at sunset towards the western end for the best light on the fishing boats. Free public benches near the ferry terminal.
