Cupecoy

On the Dutch side of the island of Sint Maarten, Cupecoy Beach is situated in the southwest. The border of the island separating the French side from the Dutch side is very close to Cupecoy beach, and it's concealed in a region bordered by limestone cliffs and also has many underwater caverns, where you'll also find colorful fish while snorkeling.

Pinel Island

On the French side of St. Martin, Pinel Island is situated northeast of Orient Bay off the coast. The island is a natural reserve that has a goal to help preserve as much as possible the islands marine life as its wildlife on the island. This makes Pinel one of the best places on the island to see the marine life and spend your afternoon in the water looking at the beautiful schools of fish and tropical corals.

Dawn Beach

On St. Maarten's eastern coast, facing the neighboring island of St. Barts, is Dawn Beach. Dawn Beach is a quiet area occupied by beach clubs, luxurious villas, expensive yachts and picturesque mountain landscapes inland. A few of the beach clubs offer services like refreshments, food, and beach chairs. This beach is ideal for relaxing and pleasurable snorkeling.

Creole Rock

On the northern French side of St. Martin, you will find the Creole Rock which is a tiny island that is located to the north of Grand Case. Because Creole Rock is so close to Grand Case, strong swimmers can swim there, but a boat excursion to Creole Rock is our advised option to stay safe.
