Great Bay is at the southern end of St. Martin/St. Maarten and is the waterfront for Phillipsburg, the Dutch capital of the island. These buildings are part of the Divi Little Bay Beach Resort. It was voted the island’s best hotel property in 2014. Just a short walk to the end of this peninsula is Fort Amsterdam. This historic citadel had a strategic location when it was built in 1631. However, the Spaniards captured it within two years and maintained control until 1648. Today, the fortress is in partial ruins.
