Without a doubt, Dreams Beach in Nettle Baie, assuming it's not closed for vacation or a special event.
It's perhaps not the best beach on the island but still nice; possibly the nicest beach furnishings on the island and free with your lunch; and most important - some of the best beach food to be found with a lot of variety to the menu. And it's very convenient to the Cliffs. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

You might just want to stop at the Sunset Beach Bar and Grill and grab a burger and watch the planes land. You could drive over to Orient Beach and go to the Palm Beach for lunch and sit on the beach the rest of the day. You could go to Grand Case and stop at the Calmos Café for a bite to eat and sit there with your feet in the sand and watch the sunset (beautiful from there). If you want to stay near Simpson Bay, you could go to Karakter Beach Bar and Café, grab something to eat, and watch the sunset sitting on the beach there. Just some thoughts.

Depending on what the seaweed situation is like by then, I might suggest Kakao on Orient. They do have a variety of different foods, including burgers and pizza, in addition to more traditional French food. I love Dreams, but I personally would save it for a day when I wasn't exhausted from traveling..

All great responses....but in my opinion, arriving noonish on Sunday means that they won't get luggage or out of the airport by at least 1PM. Now add getting a car, even if the car is brought to them at the airport means that they won't make it to the Cliff's probably not until 1:30 or 2:00. Add check in time....another 15 minutes or half hour. Add about 30 minute drive to Grand Case, or 45 minute drive to Orient beach.... means that they won't be eating lunch until around 4:30 or 5:00!!!!!!! Again, in my humble opinion, someplace closer to the Cliff would make the most sense!!!! (Mullett, Cupecoy, Maho area)

Whenever I travel and have a noontime arrival, I just pack a lunch. I know it is not as fun as getting to eat on the beach, but being hungry and delayed at the same time is such a poor way to start a vacation that it is worth it to me.
That said, ribs at Mullet sounds like a good plan to me if the sandwich in a bag plan is not your speed.
There's a small fortune to be made in racing; just start with a large one.

I second dropping the luggage and heading to either Karakter Beach or Mullet Bay Beach. Both are close enough to you and should serve your desire for both beach and lunch. Personally, between the two for THAT day, I'd choose Karakter's, but that's just me.

If your flight actually touches down at 11:16, I really think you could do somewhere in Grand Case or Orient without any problem, and be there by 1 or 1:30, latest.
