Miguel's Hot Beach Spot

Reviewed By CrazyGlen - Albany, United States

They say St. Maarten is the friendly island! Since 1993, we have found this to be very true! It's the people of St. Maarten that make us feel welcome! That is what keeps us coming back. Now to the point, Miguel is the BEST of the best when it comes to hospitality and taking care of his customers! The Boardwalk is a great place to enjoy a day on the beach, combined with fine dining, fun shopping and plenty of bar hopping! Of course, the first thing to do is pick out some chairs & umbrella and jump in the water! There are plenty of choices, but if you don't pick the orange umbrellas, you won't meet Miguel and that will be the greatest loss of your vacation....

Baie Rouge

Reviewed By lindag755 - North Vancouver, Canada

Beautiful beach - blue water and white sand. What you expect a Caribbean beach to look like! Very little seaweed. As the beach drops off pretty rapidly so you need to be careful about getting in and out of the water and watch the wave sets carefully.

Maho Beach

Located at the end of Maho Bay and also very close to the airport where airplanes fly right above the beach.

Reviewed By TitanicItems - Lomita, United States

For those with an adventurous spirit, you have to visit the world famous Malo Beach. I wanted to experience the close landing jets and more importantly the jet blast of takeoffs...a bucket list item! Powerful blasts are few and far between since many were hurt and from what we heard, some killed. We waited several hours and saw many low flying jets. As for take-offs: We knew we were in for a trouble when the pilot waived at us as he readied the jet for take-off. He gave full thrust and we were instantly tossed like rag dolls. Apparently this does not happen often any longer since some died. “Get hammered by a jet engine at the St. Marteen airport blast fence ✔️.” Overjoyed!

Orient Bay Beach

Reviewed By ommegang - Bloomington, United States

We definitely saw some lingering signs of the destruction wrought by Irma, but the rebuilding seems to be in its last stages. This is already a beautiful beach and it will only get better over the next few months and years. Given the number of facilities and their good reputation we expected it to be super-busy but it wasn't. We did visit in the low season, but the beach is very long and very wide, with lots of room to stroll up and down, enjoy the water, the white sand, and the scenery. Great bars and restaurants too! - I saw some reviewers complain about the seaweed and thought it was rather silly because all natural beaches can have some seaweed. However, a record-breaking sargassum seaweed bloom is taking place and it is definitely affecting these beaches.

Little Bay Beach

Reviewed By 301ericw - Knoxville, United States

Great beach with amazing snorkeling. If you’re there on a cruise it’s only $5 per person each way. You can rent two chairs and an umbrella for $15. Snorkeling is best off two the left along the rocks and steep rock wall. Great variety of fish. Beach is fabulous with a sandy bottom in most places. Variety of stuff to rent for fun
