Hey
Everyone and welcome to this weeks episode of Phil Phriday.
This week we're going to be talking about the beaches on St Martin and what makes them
so special.
One thing that's great about this island is that there's a variety of beaches.
You've got ones that have music blasting and you know grills out and you can buy beers
and you can go to a restaurant and you can rent sports gear and you can do all these
sorts of things but then you have some other ones that are very private and you can go
and feel like you have this whole island to yourself.
So you have a really nice variety and the island is so small that you don't have to go too
far.
You can go to a busy one in the morning and a calm one in the afternoon or vice versa,
you can do whatever you want.
One beach that's very popular here is Mullet Bay.
Mullet Bay Beach is hugely popular.
It's not too far from the airport and there's lots of people.
You can rent beach chairs, you can get beers you can chicken and ribs, it's a place where
you can play volleyball, and there's a lot of activity.
One of my favorite private beaches here is a beach called Happy Bay.
Happy Bay is a great spot to go if you want to be alone.
There's no restaurants there's not a lot of beach activity, there's no beach chairs it's
just this pure white sand beach and you can just enjoy it by yourself.
If you're looking to take a nice long walk then I would defiantly go to Baie Longue Beach.
There's a reason it's called Baie Lonue, it's long!
You can take massive walks here and just enjoy the sound of the waves.
And then if you get their right around the 5-6 o'clock hour there's a beautiful sunset
and it's an incredible place to be.
One of my favorites.
If you're looking for activities where you can rent boards and you can go parasailing.
Do all that sort of stuff.
Then I would defiantly check out Orient Bay.
One thing that's great about Orient Beach is that there's a nude area.
If you're into that.
Which...I...might...partake in.
Orient Beach is one of those beaches that got hit hard by the Hurricane (Irma) so right
now it's hurting.
However it's massive, but the restaurants and lack of beach bars that used to be there
have really made this a much more quiet beach, but we think it will be back and ready to
go, very soon.
One beach that people are very familiar with is Philipsburg.
It's where all the cruise ships come in.
You can imagine what the energy at this beach is going to be like.
Lots of activity there's going to be people selling things, numerous restaurants on the
boardwalk.
It's kind of one of those beaches that you could see anywhere.
If you took a cruise you would get docked at a beach just like this.
It's great to see and it's busy and it's fun so if that's your thing, go for it.
Check it out.
There's also a beach called Cupecoy Beach.
This is a tiny beach but the cliffs are so pretty.
There are stark white and a little bit of orange and gold.
There is a bar called Cupecoy beach bar, it's right across the street from Porto Cupecoy.
It's an amazing place where you can get a $2 beer and watch the sunset, swim and just
enjoy yourself.
Not a lot of people go to Cupecoy beach so it's got a nice little mix of you're not alone
but it's not packed.
And you're not getting hounded and you're able to swim peacefully.
So defiantly check out Cupecoy Beach.
That's all the beaches I'm going to talk about right now from St Martin.
There are I believe 38 total.
You can do a lot of exploring.
But those are the ones I frequent the most and that I have gone to and enjoy.
That's it for me from Phil Phriday.
Hope you enjoyed this video about the beaches on St Martin.
