From unspoiled, quiet shores to lively hubs of activity, St.
Martin has a beach to suit every client’s needs and desires. There are 25
in all, not to mention another 12 on the Dutch side of the island. Following is
just a sampling.
- Anse Marcel: Protected from wind and waves, this is a great spot for relaxing.
- Plum Bay: Wild and uncrowded, this beach offers beautiful diving sites. And when there are waves, it becomes a paradise for surfers.
- Baie Rouge: A few miles from Marigot, the beach of Baie Rouge is great for sunbathing. Loungers and parasols are available as well as accessories for diving to the rocks located at the north of the beach, which hide some spectacular sea life...
- Friar’s Bay: This beach is frequented by St. Martin families, so you can recommend it to clients with children. At the full moon, it comes alive with the sounds of night owls who party until the end of the night for the famous full moon party.
- Happy Bay: Totally isolated, this beach is full of charm and character. No road leads there: Guests have to park and walk 15 minutes to reach its dream setting.
- Baie Longue: Located south of the French side, Long Bay, as its name suggests, is one of the longest beaches of St. Martin. It is also known for its tranquility, and is ideal for couples. The waters are turquoise and there are plenty of isolated corners.

- Petite Plage: Located at the end of the bay of Grand Case, it is well named: it is a small beach but very enjoyable.
- Petites Cayes: It is a well-kept secret in St. Martin! After 30 minutes of walking along a footpath, nature and solitude lovers are rewarded for their effort: a stunning crescent of white sand, embedded in the reefs of la Pointe des Froussards, welcomes them for a few hours of rest, bathing and lazy!
