Plum Bay has been one of our favorites for many years. Quiet, with plenty of sand and great views. Just be careful of the rocks that line the shore. It can be slippery going in. Bring your chairs and cooler. Copecoy is also great, providing they have sand to sit on! The water for swimming is very enjoyable. It feels like you’re in a giant pool. Danny (or Dany), makes great rum punches and inexpensive lunches. We also visit Mullet quite frequently. The thing to do is bring your own chairs and cooler and walk down to the other end of the beach. No crowds and you almost have all that room to yourself. All beaches are great in St Maarten. The only problem we saw with Baie Rouge (and that was a favorite of ours years ago) last March, was all the garbage everywhere. Not to mention dog owners not picking up after them. The obnoxious Bush Boys, well that’s another story. Hopefully that beach comes back so we can all enjoy it.
