Vacant Paradise, Courthouse, Philipsburg

Sunbeds on the Courthouse SXM

VACANT PARADISE

(Raymond Bowen, 2024)

“Sunbeds bury the law.”

An ocean of sunbeds and parasols stretches not just across the beaches, but even creeps into the once-serious institutions like the Philipsburg Courthouse. Over-prepared and under-occupied, the island’s infrastructure waits for a crowd that never arrives. As sunbeds pile up, it’s a quiet reminder that sometimes, even the most serious places aren’t immune to the island’s overstocked paradise.
