点评:Wednesday 4th February we walked this beach walkway in Philipsburg. It is known as the Broadwalk and stretches along the coast for about 1 kilometre (around 0.6 miles).
The Boardwalk is sandwiched between Front Street on one side and Great Bay Beach on the other. There are a number of small streets linking the two, including Walter Plantz Square, reviewed separately.
The paved pathway is lined with shops, restaurants, bars, street stalls and a plethora of colourful buildings. A smell of food being cooked on the barbecue wafted through the air.
It would be impossible for visitors to go either hungry or thirsty on the Boardwalk.
A number of street sellers walked up and selling their wares. Also along the way were a number of buskers performing.
There were also, my favourite, which I classify as oddities, Boardwalk Oddities are reviewed separately. They add a bit of colour and enhances the atmosphere along this vibrant and busy promenade.
Dotted down the Boardwalk were a number of kiosks selling tours and boat trips.
We walked here from our cruise ship and it took roughly 15 minutes maximum. Another way to get here us to take a water taxi from the cruise pier directly to Great Bay Beach jetty it costs $7 (approximately £5) each way.
翻译:2月4日星期三,我们漫步在菲利普斯堡的这条海滨步道上。它被称为“木板路”(Broadwalk),沿着海岸线绵延约1公里(约0.6英里)。
木板路一侧是前街(Front Street),另一侧是大湾海滩(Great Bay Beach)。连接这两条街的小路有很多,包括沃尔特·普兰茨广场(Walter Plantz Square),我们将在另一篇文章中详细介绍。
铺好的步道两旁林立着商店、餐馆、酒吧、街边摊和各种色彩缤纷的建筑。空气中弥漫着烧烤的香味。
在木板路上,游客绝对不会感到饥饿或口渴。
许多街头小贩走上前来兜售商品。沿途还有一些街头艺人在表演。
此外,还有一些我最喜欢的——我称之为“奇特物件”的东西,我们将在另一篇文章中详细介绍。这些奇特物件为这条充满活力、熙熙攘攘的海滨长廊增添了一抹亮色,也提升了这里的氛围。
沿着木板路,散布着许多售卖旅游和乘船游览项目的亭子。
我们从游轮步行来到这里,最多花了15分钟。另一种到达方式是从游轮码头直接乘坐水上出租车前往大湾海滩码头,单程票价为7美元(约5英镑)。
