Island Indulgence: A Day of Brews, Burgers, and Beaches in Cole Bay
When I heard about the SXM Beer, Burger, and Beach Tour, I knew it was a must-try. Combining my love for island life with the promise of local brews, mouthwatering burgers, and a unique beach experience, it was an adventure I couldn’t resist.
A Toast to Island Brews
The day began with a visit to the SXM Beer brewery, a place that has become a staple in the local community. As someone who has spent countless hours riding the waves and soaking in the sun, I was eager to dive into the world of island brews. The tour was an enlightening experience, offering a glimpse into the history and craftsmanship behind what locals proudly call their national beer. The trivia questions added a fun twist, and I even managed to snag a prize! The atmosphere was lively, with fellow travelers and locals mingling at the bar, sharing stories over a cold one. It was the perfect start to a day of indulgence.
Burger Bliss at The Tap & Still
Next up was a stop at The Tap & Still for what was promised to be the best burgers in the world. As a connoisseur of beachside bites, I was skeptical but hopeful. The moment the burger arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. Juicy, flavorful, and paired with homemade fries that were nothing short of perfection, it was a meal that lived up to the hype. The laid-back vibe of the place, combined with the friendly staff, made it feel like a home away from home. It was a reminder of why I love island life – the simple pleasures that bring people together.
Sun, Sand, and Spectacle at Maho Beach
With a satisfied belly and a happy heart, it was time to hit the beach. Maho Beach is famous for its unique spectacle of planes landing and taking off just overhead. As a former professional surfer, I’ve seen my fair share of breathtaking sights, but this was something else entirely. The thrill of watching a plane soar just above the turquoise waters was exhilarating. I spent the afternoon lounging on the powdery white sand, taking dips in the calm sea, and soaking in the vibrant energy of the beachgoers around me. It was the perfect way to cap off a day of indulgence, a reminder of the beauty and excitement that island life has to offer.
