Caribbean map > St. Maarten > Best beaches

The 37 beaches on St. Maarten
are widely held as very good and
surrounded by blue water. The
sand is powdery fine and white.
A real dream!

One of them is the long Mullet
Bay Beach and close by you will
find Cupecoy Beach. If you prefer
a less visited beach, then try
Simpson Bay Beach which lies
just behind the airport.

You should visit at least once the small
Maho Bay where jumbo jets fly really
close above your head because of the
airport runway. (You have to watch care-
fully and duck down if a plane arrives!
No joke!). On both sides of the beach
you will find a bar from where you can
watch the planes up close. On the nice
boardwalk in Philipsburg lies the white
and long Great Bay, where you can
rent water scooters and have the choice
of several beach bars and restaurants.
