View of Baie Longue from La
Sammana

by TRimer

Baie Longue. Named one of the ten most beautiful beaches in the world. Pass Sapphire/Ocean Club and go past border marker. Take a left at sign for LaSammana and turn right before the resort. When you see chain link fence on your left, you've found it. Water a bit rough here, but a quiet, spectacular beach.

Anguilla

by TRimer

Sail to the island of Anguilla. Anguilla, British West Indies - is an island that is 'tranquility, wrapped in blue' - chosen by visionaries as the destination of choice for luxurious, five-star resorts. With 33 pristine white beaches this is the place to go to unwind. It is about a half hour boat ride from Marigot, St. Martin.

St. Barth

by TRimer

The beautiful Isle de St. Barthélemy is located 15 miles southeast from St. Maarten. It is small, a little more than eight square miles. Steep hills divide the island into several valleys, usually open on one side to the sea. The island includes fourteen beaches of various sizes, all covered with gleaming white sand. Many are protected from ocean swells by a fringing reef; all, by law, are public and free. The main town is Gustavia.

Many beaches like Grote Knip, Kleine Knip and Princessbeach are busy and well visited. But don't forget the more smaller and quiet beaches and bays. Not many people visit Playa Lagun. But snorkling here (bring your own snorklegear) is so great, because there is almost no one here and swimming and laying on the beach is too :)

Snorkling at Knip Bay. You can see a lot of colourful fish here. But watch out for stapping on ales and for getting to the more dark blue part of the ocean. The dark blue part is much colder and suddenly gets deep too. Some sharks swim in these parts, but don't worry too much, they don't come very near the coast and aren't big maneaters or anything like that.

When it is very hot in summertime: don't visit Christoffel park, where flamingos should be. You don't see many flamingos and you can smell birdshit from miles away. In raintime it is better to come here. The smell is less and there are more birds and water! On the picture: some orange birds who live near the flamingopark.
