Mazinga on the Bay

Sint Eustatius


Inside one of the four remaining 17th-century Lower Town buildings, Mazinga is named for the highest point on Statia, located on the crater rim of the Quill volcano. It stocks local crafts and jewelry, books, Statia-themed T-shirts, sun hats, beach gear and rum, as well as Dutch cheeses, cookies and chocolates.

The umbrella-shaded waterfront deck is a pleasant spot to enjoy an ice cream or beer from the fridge.
