13 June, 2017If what you’re looking for is a holiday in one of the world’s best beach destinations, the island of Saint Martin is the place for you. This tiny Caribbean island hides small treasures in the form of beaches for spending idyllic vacations. At RIU we want to recommend the best beaches of Saint Martin that you should include in your next trip to the island.
- Maho Beach
It is unquestionably one of the most famous beaches of Saint Martin. Located on the Dutch side of the island, it’s an authentic show to watch the planes come in for a landing from the beach. They fly so low that they seem like they’re going to land next to your lounge chair. Unquestionably a unique place to visit during your stay.
- Anse Marcel
Anse Marcel is a small beach tucked between emerald-green valleys. It also has a small marina, making this beach perfect for relaxing. The tranquil waters make it ideal for the entire family. To access this beach, the best thing to do is to stay at a resort in the area. The Riu Palace St Martin hotel is the perfect place for exploring this marvellous beach.
- Nettle Bay
The most notable feature of Nettle Bay is that it’s divided into two beaches: one on the Caribbean side and the other on a lagoon. You’ll also find many establishments there like bars and restaurants, so that you can snack while you enjoy the tranquil waters of the lagoon or the crystalline waters of the Caribbean.
- Grand Case Beach
If you’re a lover of gastronomy, this is your beach. It’s known for being the top place for dining out in Saint Martin for its wide offer of gourmet restaurants and its stalls selling typical food on the beach. A variety of propositions for all pocketbooks.
- Happy Bay
When you read about heavenly white-sand beaches and crystalline waters, in your mind you have an image that closely resembles Happy Bay in Saint Martin. If you’re looking for a corner of paradise to enjoy a bit of privacy, it’s worth taking the 15-minute walk from Friar’s Bay.
