The sign is a plank with a cartoon dog on it and Blue Bitch Bar hand-lettered above, and the Sint Maarten flag flies off the same wire. It sits directly on the sand on the Philipsburg boardwalk, sharing its spot with Taloula Mango’s, and the two operate closely enough that Google files them as a single place. The kitchen turns out jerk chicken mac and cheese and ribs, the street band sets up within earshot, and the water taxi from the cruise pier lands you almost at the door. Open eleven to four and closed Sundays. Order something, take the sand, and watch the last passengers jog back toward the ships while you are not on one.
Part of the full rundown on the best beach bars in St. Martin and Sint Maarten.
