Its white sands are backed by low sandstone cliffs that have been eroded in such a way that they provide a run of small semiprivate coves. « less

The beach is beautiful and private, which I thought would be romantic, but my GF found it creepy because of it's remoteness, plus one naked dude floating on a red noodle very suggestively. It is confusing where it is. We got there by bus after requesting he drive there. It dropped us off at the right place but Google said... More

The beach access is difficult, Rocky and trolling naked men. We didn't like it as much as some of the others on the island.

We had heard so much of how beautiful Cupecoy was and was determined to find it. It's right across the street from the Blue Mall by the way. We actually saw it from the water on a snorkel trip. Apparently they've cleared what used to be very nature like and now much resembles West Texas (a small tree here and... More

We stopped here while taking a leisurely drive around the island. Since it was Sunday not much open at the harbor but the view was gorgeous. We walked around the area admiring the sailboats that were docked. Restaurants were open although we did not choose to eat there. The Ship Wrecked store had some good buys! The other stores looked...

We stayed over on Maho Bay, and decided to walk up the French side of the island to explore and find some interesting beaches. I'm so glad we took the walk! We discovered Cupecoy Beach by mistake, by wandering through what seemed like a desolate strip of land by the ocean. After observing a few people climbing down some steep... More

I hope I never forget how much I enjoyed this unique beach! After you walk down the narrow staircase nature takes you in. It's a very narrow beach but after walking down and toward the right we were able to find our very own little private area..it was almost like our own little natural den carved out of rock! The...

This was a very small beach situated along the cliffs at Cupecoy. Access is across the street from BlueMall. Very scenic and a bit different from some of the other beaches on SXM. Be aware that this is probably the most nudist-friendly beach on the Dutch side.
