First let me say, thanks for all the help. I feel like we are in the minority here since we are posting about travel to SXM with a younger family. But I appreciate all the insight I've learned here.
I asked about this a while back and was recommended to post a bit closer to the date.

We are going to be in SXM next month. We used to frequent Galion beach followed by Butterfly Farm but I understand both are no longer.
We were looking for new things to do with the kids. We loved Galion beach as it was pretty calm and the kids could wade out far without worrying about harsh waves. Anything equivalent?

Someone mentioned Karakter? What exactly is that?

Daytrips. Pinel Island vs Anguilla? Which is closer to SXM?

How about snorkeling? Any outfits you'd recommend? Or are there good beaches where the kids are snorkel without having to take a boat.

Also, someone mentioned Kim Sha and a playground? Whats that?

In the meantime, I am looking at Loterie Farm and Flying Dutchman for experiences. Anyone been to either?

I think we definitely have to do Parrotville.

As far as food, sounds like Fat Tonys and Marks Place are ideas. Not sure what lolos are but need to experience them.

And Jetskiiing....any recommendations?
