Default St Maarten

Thanks to the recommendations of many in this forum, we've planned our
days in St Thomas and Puerto Rico on our upcoming cruise in February.
We've narrowed down our plans in St MAarten but have a couple questions.

How close is Orient Bay and Simpson Bay by cab from the dock?

I've seen a clip of Simpson Bay with the low flying jets and it looks
like it could be a fun spot to spend an afternoon. What's the beach like
there?

What amenities are present at both beaches - lockers, showers, snorkel
equipment and so on?

tks
Mike

Don't rule out Pinel Island, which is just off shore by Orient Beach.
Another fun place... almost like the cruise line private islands... though
much smaller and much less crowded.

I took the Viking gang there 2 years ago... and they loved it.
