Question ... this past May it was difficult getting into and out of water because of the coral and rocks. Just curious ... is it still that way or has the sand returned to cover them? Thanks!

Fly the Friendly Skies of AA
ggffrr11
10 hours ago
This past weekend, AA cut/merged several flights (and made time changes) to and from EIS and STT for next February (2027).
You might want to check your flights.
My wife and I were moved to separate rows on one flight segment (maybe to her delight). I was able to resolve this on the website.
What concerns me the most is the AA.com > log in > my flights > options box. In the past, I've always seen two options: "change flights or cancel". Now, there has only been one box option: "Cancel", No "Change flight" option (or at least not over the past several days). This probably could be remedied with the ole "1-800" phone call. But, the seat available charts are filling up even mid week when we are traveling. Also, to cancel and reschedule is showing airfares 2-2.5x what I paid for them 3-4 months ago.
With four months left till the trip > I wouldn't be surprised if more changes are made.

Mosquito repellent and vaccination?
calle313
10/04/2026 10:49 AM
Hi!
Reading about that mosquitos are active throughout the Caribbean, it´s commonly recommended that you bring a repellent containing DEET when visiting St. Martin. As I understand, the mosquitos are most active at dusk and dawn. When checking out a 40% DEET repellent sold in Sweden, you should only apply it once a day, and the effect lasts about 8 hours. It seems to be quite potent, and care should made to follow the instructions on how to use it.
How big a risk are the mosquitos in your opinion, is there a risk for Degue and Zika virus? What repellent do you use, where and when do apply it? We are getting hepatitis A + B vaccinations, in Sweden it´s recommended to have at least the hepatitis A vaccination before travelling to the Caribbean. It is also recommended to check if you have the vaccinations for Tetanus and Diphtheria updated .
Is there anything else we need to know, any good tips or recommendations from you guys that have been on the island?
//Cheers!

Cruise Ships

Looking ahead to the cruise ship schedule for December, January and February, if I’m not mistaken there seems to be a lot more than in the past several years. Not sure what that will mean for traffic on the island but sure looks like a busy year for the local businesses.

Happy Bay - anti naturism
Sherrie
10/02/2026 06:55 PM
I understand that Club O is the official clothing optional beach but we have visited since 2001 and never had issue on Happy Bay. Today we were approached by an island woman with 2 large dogs telling us we were disrespectful and unlawful. I actually had bottoms on and legally topless. Husband was nude but put on swimming trunks as she approached. She spoke to me only. We were up under the trees minding our own business at about 10 am. She basically made me put my top on stating police would patrol while face timing someone about the incident. Her dogs actually ran at another male naturist entering the water and embarrassed him as well. She ruined the tone of what would have been the perfect day at Happy Bay.

10/01/2026 07:36 PM
Hello,
I’m looking for one week of owners time on a 4 cabin/4 head CAT in May of 2027. I’ve chartered in the BVI many times and have used owners time through the moorings for many of those trips.
If any one has any time they wish to sell, you can email me at biminis@aol.com.
Thanks,
Ken

Cupecoy this week
Sherrie
09/29/2026 07:50 PM
We've been traveling to SXM since 2001 but never spent a day at Cupecoy. The sea was a bit rough today at Baie Long and I got a little road rash...nothing substantial. Has anyone been to Cupecoy this week who can tell me if it's rough? Also would love more info on parking fee, chairs etc so we are prepared. We've heard good things about Dany's place!
