TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin D's Beach Bar Webcam

Their webcam has been off line for awhile now, when I checked this morning it's back up and running (for now). I don't know how to provide a link but if you Google D's Beach Bar you will find the website. The strange thing is the website is still called "dinghysbeachbar.com". It gives a good view of what's going on at that end of Simpson Bay. Right now there are big piles of sargassum and a big yellow front end loader removing it. Their airport cam is also back up and running.

Thanks. On my home screen now.

View from BSV #8 on 5/19 and from 8.30 am 5/28. Both beautiful. Mother Nature is amazing. BSV crew worked diligently as always. Government stepped in to do a massive clean up job on the D's Beach corner all the way up to Villla #3 or so.

JC--I must say, today's view looks much better! Do you see a bunch more in the water?

Hi Carol. None at all. Not even on the horizon. From 5 ft tall "drifts" to nothing. Amazing. All we did the first couple days was walked down to the middle of the bay and it was crystal clear. This is truly paradise.

JC--Great news!! How long are you there for?

Unfortunately, leaving on Friday. Been a great break from reality.

Too bad for you.

Would appreciate hearing about your trip when you can.

what's with all of the lines on the webcam though? It looks like a checkerboard!

Just click on the word "grid" in the top left corner and they will disappear.

got it, thanks.

I wonder if they are open. The webcam is working, but I don't see anyone. It looks like there is a huge pile of seaweed off to the left of the camera.

Yikes, that mountain of seaweed to the left and still quite a bit spread across the shoreline.

Yes Carol they are open. Their hours are 10:30am to 9:00pm ish.

Whale Tail--I saw that they had posted somewhere that they were closed because of the seaweed. I didn't realize they didn't open until 10:30. I guess they don't serve breakfast?

I imagine the smell wouldn't be very inviting until it's all gone.

Yes they were closed because of the sargassum, but they were serving customers yesterday. We have had their Sunday Brunch there which starts at 10am and I had my eggs bacon and homefries with a Bloody Mary. But I have to say the Bloody Mary at SMYC is much better.

Whale Tail--ok, thanks. I do not like Bloody Mary's, much prefer a mimosa.

We ate there the first day they opened back up (Tuesday). Taco Tuesday. Everything was great !! Service and food were top notch. Don't worry about the smell, wasn't noticeable.

JC--How's the seaweed at Beachside today?

I think you're going home today? Safe travels.

"Don't worry about the smell, wasn't noticeable."
Dozer is still trying to remove the decomposing in the hot sun stack. Can't tell me that doesn't stink.

Dozer appears to be just sitting there to me.

I love eating there. Ate there three times this month. Great parking, too !!!
