Discover SXM Beaches

With more than 70 km of coastline, Saint-Martin is a magnificent island, planted like a paradisiacal setting between the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. From wild and peaceful sxm beaches to more lively and touristic ones, all stand out for their uniqueness and illustrate the diversity and richness of the island. These 37 beaches are among the most famous pearls in the Caribbean. Amazing Stay SXM help you discover these wonderful places !

Baie Longue/Long Bay

Located in the heart of the Terres Basses, to the west of the island, Baie Longue beach is the first beach on the French side when you go up the island to the north, leaving the Dutch side to the south. It is one of the largest beaches on the island, which stretches from the Hôtel de la Samanna to Pointe des Canonniers. One of the calmest too, where only the sound of the surf comes to rock the sweet moments of relaxation.

Baie Aux Prunes / Plum Bay

Still in Terres Basses, between the Pointe du Canonnier and the Falaise aux Oiseaux, Baie aux Prunes, or "Plum Bay", is little frequented because it is little known by tourists. With its color palette mixing the gold of the sand with the shades of blues of the sea, Baie aux Prunes calls for calm and plenitude. Rather wild, this magnificent beach covers two facets: in calm sea weather, mask, fins and snorkel are essential to discover its seabed; in swell weather, experienced surfers come to play with the waves.

Baie Rouge / Red bay

So called thanks to the light coloring of its sand, Baie Rouge is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful beaches in Saint Martin and one of the most popular. Lively and pleasant beach, it is not crowded, however, thanks to its large size and the space it offers. Easily accessible at the entrance to Terres Basses, it has a car park.

Petite Baie

Poorly protected in bad weather, the beach of Petite Baie is little frequented. In calm weather, it offers an unobstructed view of Marigot Bay and plenty of space for nature lovers. To its left, between Baie Rouge and Pointe du Bluff, Trou David or Trou du Diable, a natural cavity 24 meters deep, offers a magnificent spectacle. The site takes its name from the bubbling waves formed when they crash into the hole.

baie nettle / Nettle bay

On the sea side, Nettle Bay presents a long strip of sand where the beaches are maintained by the hotel complexes present on the site. Swimming is made difficult by the rocks and pebbles as well as the currents. This beach, little frequented, is on the other hand very pleasant because it is rocked by the trade winds. Pretty beaches shaded by the many coconut palms and furnished by the hotels (Hôtel Hommage, Hôtel le Flamboyant, etc.) line the shores of the Simpson Bay lagoon. You can practice wakeboarding or jet-skiing. Swimming in the lagoon, however, is not recommended.

Grand ÃŽlet

In the heart of the Simpson Bay lagoon, Grand ÃŽlet has a beautiful little beach, accessible only by boat, which is ideal for a picnic.

Galisbay

Overlooked by Fort Louis, the Baie de la Potence or Plage de Galisbay forms the northern part of the Bay of Marigot. Small family beach, it is very frequented by locals during weekends and holidays.

La plage des amoureux / Lover's beach

Nestled in the rocky coast of Pointe Arago, it is the smallest beach in Saint-Martin and cannot accommodate more than two people at the same time, hence its name! Difficult to find on the Chemin des Douaniers, the Plage des Amoureux must be earned.

Anse des pères / Friar's Bay

Located in the north-western part of the island, Friar’s Bay is a very pretty family beach formed by a magnificent cove and well protected from the swell. Two quality beach restaurants have made it famous, Friar's Bay Beach Café and Kali's Beach Bar, which offer quality Creole cuisine ...

Happy Bay

A true paradise setting, Happy Bay beach is only accessible after a ten-minute walk. To reach it, you park your car in a small car park at the entrance to Grand-Case. It is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island and has managed to preserve its authenticity and its wild side. Being one of the few beaches still offering some shade thanks to its vegetation, it is ideal for a picnic. It is this paradisiacal place where the SXM Festival, a renowned electronic music festival, takes place once a year, as well as the Holi, the Festival of Colors, and the Oualichi Festival.

Tintamarre

Magnificent haven of peace and greenery in the middle of the ocean, ÃŽlet Tintamarre is located 4 km northeast of Saint-Martin. Covering an area of nearly 100 hectares, it is part of the territory of the Nature Reserve. Deserted of all human life, one can observe there, while walking inland, the remains of an aerodrome, a small railway line and a cotton farm. The most accessible beach offering easy swimming is the one to the west, Baie Blanche, which faces Saint-Martin. A second beach is located further east, just a few minutes walk from the one where you dock by boat. This beach is wilder and acts as a nursery for many species of fish. Our favorite of sxm beaches.

ÃŽlet pinel / Pinel island

L'ÃŽlet Pinel is a small paradise island in the heart of the Nature Reserve, located very close to the east coast of Saint-Martin. It is accessed by boat, kayak or paddle from the Cul-de-Sac pier. Two magnificent beaches welcome you there: the first, located opposite Saint-Martin, is a very sheltered tongue of sand. The water is transparent there because the sea has little bottom, and the white sand: a real postcard landscape. On this beach, you will find two restaurants right on the water. It is also a magnificent snorkeling spot. The second beach, wild and stony, is located on the other side of the island, which can be reached in 10 minutes on foot. Legend has it that it was while trying to conquer the island of Saba that the filibuster Pinel was repelled by its inhabitants who, from their mountain refuge, rolled rocks at the pirates. In their rout, the invaders would then have stranded on the islet which bears the name of their fallen captain. At only 7mn of Orient Bay.
