So Many Beaches !!

St. Martin / Sint Maarten ( or SXM) offers so many beach choices each with different flavours of restraunts, business, views, people, shopping, waves, size - explore them all - after 10+ years we havent managed to visit them all yet !!

Anse Marsel

Anse Marcel is located just past French Cul-de-Sac and is the perfect crescent beach - the Anse Marcel Beach Club offers amazing chairs and a great restraunt with a wonderful view - a little on the pricey side but well worth the view of Anguilla and the walk along the beach. Call ahead for reservations !!

Mullet Bay

Mullet Bay beach is located on the Dutch side just past Maho from the Airport: its a great long beach with lots of chair rentals and some great casual restaraunts/bars like Rosies - as well as the more upscale Kalatua beach club. Great views of planes landing and Catamarans in the Bay.

Orient Beach

Orient beach located on the French side just south of Hope estates and is a long stretch of sand with numerous beach restaraunts, chair rentals, bars, shopping etc. very close to the Villa: lits about a 20 minute drive to Orient Village from the villa and then a short walk to the beach: some of our favourites are Sun Beach (in 2023 was free chairs if you have lunch there) and Kontiki - and of course there is always Club-Orient naturist / clothing optional beach section for the more adventurous.

Pinel Island

Pinel Island is located on the French side by taking the ferry from French Cul-de-Sac: a quick $12 ferry ride and you are on a paradise island and a paradise beach with great chair rentals and restaraunts: both Yellow Beach and Karibuni have excellent food and drink and you can call ahead for reservations - the ferry runs back and forth every 15 minutes 9-4 so is easily accessible: and dont forget to check out the Lizard pit and to get a Pinel Island T-shirt !!

So many beach choices - don't forget to bring Sunscreen !! Here are some of the ones we have visited:

Cupecoy near Porto Cupercoy its a bit of a walk down from parking but a beautiful beach - and Dany's is a small rib joint near the parking: a great sunset view !!

Dawn Beach next to Oyster Bay Beach resort down the hill from the Villa - you can rent chairs or bring your own - water is a bit rocky but beautiful.

Friars Bay between Marigot and Grande Case is a crescent beach with lots of chair and restaurant services for various prices like ICI (cash only), 978 Beach Lounge and Kali's Bar - some pebbles/stones on entry to the water but a great view of Anguilla.

Grande Case Beach Club has a small beach where you can rent chairs and the Sunset restaraunt is right there - parking is available and is a walk in.

Grande Case a long beach with great views and lots of shops in Grande Case - parking can be a bit tricky but use the parking lots in Grande Case for $5 - great beach chair/restraunts like Captain Frenchy and Rainbow Cafe - or bring your own chairs and have lunch at a LoLo.

Happy Bay just east of Grande Case is a bit of a walk in from the small parking lot and there are no beach services - you can also walk from Friar's Bay: a great beach for Naturists.

Indigo between Cole Bay and Phillipsburg has a great restraunt and views of Saba.

Le Gallion on the road to Orient is a beautiful calm bay - but no services bring a lunch and walk the beach !!

Philipsburg Great Bay has lots of chair and restaraunt opptions not to mention shopping !! Park at Captain Bobby's marina and walk to the boardwalk, see the cruise ships.
