In all the times I've been to the island I've never been to cupecoy. Kiddo wondering about a day at the beach there.

Are there loungers and umbrellas for rent? Food options? Best place to park? I realize much of this info is available on the interwebs but it's hard to find current information. Thanks everyone.

Dany's beach bar is there; he rents chairs and umbrellas. He grills ribs and chicken, and has a full bar with the best rum punch you've ever had. There's a huge sign at the entrance; you can't miss it. Cupecoy Beach Bar.

Just be aware that Cupecoy is a clothing optional beach so you never know what you might encounter.

The whole beach is clothing optional or just a section of it?

Any recommends on where to park for easy access to the beach and Dany's?

Yes, whole beach is CO that you can access from Dany's and the beach comes and goes. I would suggest stopping by for sunset and checking it out before planning a day there. Very nice sunsets from there, grab a cocktail, relax and enjoy. The entrance is near the roundabout near Porto Cupecoy, a bit back on the Dutch side. When you drive in you will see parking to the right prior to his bar and there is also parking past the bar up to the left which puts you closer to checking out the beaches. 97% clothed at his bar and the upper area above the beaches.

Everything Todd said plus just park and go for a walk - park up the hill
He described and walk and look for trails in the grasses/plants. Really cool to view and see so many coves. Then it ends out on coral and near the beach in front of old Ocean club which is usually the largest - not always in and usually very clothing optional.
