Cultural in Marigot

Marigot Market
Free 0.1 km from centre

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.

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.

Park in Marigot

Marigot Bay Beach
Free 0.6 km from centre

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.
