I would agree that is probably correct, as far as the most consistent. That said, Orient CAN be very calm, Mullet CAN be very calm, Simpson Bay CAN be very calm. It all depends on the weather and waves.

Suggest the beach at Ans Marcel. It's a very protected cove and every time we've ever been there it's been literally like a bathtub, but, depth-wise, with totally swimmable waters unlike some of the other calmer beaches. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Mullet was anything but flat 2 weeks ago. Pretty calm and LOTS of beach but a big drop-off to get to the water.

Oh, actually I was equating 'calm' and 'flat' as the same thing, but especially with regard to Mullet, there is often a big drop off, yes..

Another vote for Le Galion. It is very shallow for a very long ways out. When it is too windy on Orient we escape to Le Galion.

The ONLY beach that will be calm and flat NO MATTER WHAT, YEAR ROUND, 365/365, is the Galion!!!.. protected by a reef barier in a bay protected frm trade winds.. all of the others, Mullet, Anse Marcel, Friars, Happy, Kim Sha, Gd case, Pinel, etc, etc.. are "occasionally" calm, it is all depends on weather and sea condition for those, as well as time of the year... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
