Dutch navy to practice on SXM..

Daily Herald story

So, if you're lying on your chaise on the beach and see the navy coming ashore, don't get too worried! Seriously, most Dutch side beaches are so heavily populated, I wonder how they would do this?? Guana Bay maybe??

Been doing this every year we've been here. They move to different beaches. Stormed Simpson Bay Beach one time to the delight of the folks hanging at the beach.

Now, that would be cool to see!!

Maybe Mullett on a Sunday. Could use bullhorns to announce " enough is enough. Keep littering and we'll shoot you!"

Just a thought......

Cheers

Now, I'm sure that was a post in jest, but I did laugh...

Yes. The Dutch wouldn't do that. They are peacefull folks.

greenfields--Now THAT was funny!

Nothing like watching the Dutch Navy work out on the beach!!!!! 😍🥰😍🥰😍

My wife walked down to the dive boat to watch me leave I was on and 10 of the Dutch Navy boys were on board. One of her favorite picture memories of St Maarten.

It's always cool to see them cruise by in front of Beachside Villa's!! Very impressive!!

We were lucky enough about five years ago, while staying at Royal Islander, we watched the flotilla of boats, filled with ''soldiers'' and troop carriers etc, show up in the middle of Maho Beach, and ''storm'' the beach with equiptment, etc. Was exhilerating and scary at the same time, first thinking that SXM was being invaded by soldiers. Little like watching ''War Games'' on tv.

Bet that was a cool adrenalin rush.

First it was a bit scary.......felt like we were being invaded. Then when the truth was revealed a big sigh of relief for all.
