Proselyte Reef

This reef is perhaps the best known dive site on the island and was the site where the H.M.S. Proselyte, the remains of which are still buried within the reef, once crashed.

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!

We dined here several times for breakfast and the food is good and the location is wonderful, good times watching the big boats coming through the bridge to the lagoon and back out to the sea.

Seaside Nature Park

Reviewed By jeffkQ7929IO

We arrived at the Seaside Nature Park around 4 PM about a half hour early for our champaign sunset horseback ride. It is located in an odd place. You need to drive through the local power plant which seemed strange but just ignore the weirdness of it all. We walked around the petting zoo before we met up with Hector our guide. The ride is only 2 hours but the views along the way were great. We stopped for photos, champaign and roasted marshmallows. At the end of the ride we all went riding into the water for a swim with our horses, which was a lot of fun. At the end a little rum punch to top off the evening. Well worth it if you enjoy riding but if you haven't been horseback riding before it will be all fine. They treat all as a beginner. A pleasant way to spend the early evening hours on a beautiful island.

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

Great Bay Beach

Reviewed By chiefdcates - Cary, United States

We enjoyed chairs and an umbrella on our day at Great Bay Beach. Kids and parents enjoyed the calm waters, there were many activities you could do. Mom slipped off for a little shopping. Picked up Subway for an affordable lunch. Neat to watch the water taxis, jet skis and cruise ships in the area.

Divi Beach

Reviewed By heather_hugh - Philadelphia, United States

My family and I had such a fun day at this beach! We were staying on the island and had friends come in for the day on a cruise ship; we were all able to meet at Divi Beach and had a great time. There are chairs and umbrellas available to rent, water sports for the kids when they want more than to play in the ocean, and there are several restaurants (and bathrooms) right on the beach! If you don't feel like leaving the soft, sandy beach when you want food and/or drinks, there is also a server walking around taking orders.
