BEACHES
Below this text you will find our recommendations for a beautiful beach visit. The ones with a rainbow are LGBT friendly.
Just the one near your lodging address, or the one with a lot of activity to almost unspoiled beaches. SXM has a big variety of beaches. Even for the naturists among us there is a lot of choices.
All our beaches are free to access, so you are free to put your feets on every sand grain!!!
Take your towel and sunscreen with you and lay down under a palmtree or rent a beach chair with an umbrella.
The most of the 37 beaches will have a beach- or loungebar to serve you a nice cocktail, a glass of champagne or a refreshing Caribbean beer. And of course the most beaches have also something for the inner man or you will find a nearby shop.
We would like to ask you not to show your beach visit for the next visitors and that is why we ask you to deposit your waste in a container intended for this purpose. A better environment starts with yourself.
The white sand and the clear blue water is welcoming you!
Cupecoy beach
Cupecoy beach is closed in by dramatic cliffs and close to the French border. The beach part in the middle is the LGBT and nude beach and sometimes you can meet other family members for close encounters. Be aware that the sea on this side can be rough sometimes and that there are a lot of rocks.
Great Bay Philipsburg
Shopping, beaching, eating, drinking or watersport activities, this beach on the boardwalk has everything to offer with walking distance to everything you need.
Lay down on a beach chair and see the cruise ships arriving or departing and have a great view to the neighbor islands, for example the big rock Saba just in front of you.
Visiting this beach is never boring!
