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

Went to St martins with my daughter for the march break. Even though the first two days were rainy and cool, the last five days more than made up for it. The views are breath takeing and there's so much to explore. I would recomend the rhino rider, the one that takes you to crawl rock, as well go to... more

Cupecoy is one of my favorite beaches on Sint Maarten. It is a series of smaller beaches, surrounded by cliffs. If you park in the grassy area just to the west of the final set of apartments, you can easily walk down to the beach. There is one kind of "main" larger beach and then smaller ones which are a... more

This beach is rather small, but not extremely crowded. Expect to see several topless sunbathers. The backdrop of the roack walls and the views of Saba made this beach a worthwhile stop. No facilities or umbrellas for shade. more

I don't think this is an "official" nude beach, but many do go nude. There are not large crowds. There are all types of people, including a gay cruising area on some trails at the far left of the beach. There are aso a couple of very small (and deserterted when we were there) beaches along the path...but you will... more

Cupecoy offers a beautiful, dramatic landscape with tall cliffs and crystal clear water. I thought it would be just like Wind-n-sea in San Diego but it is 10 times more beautiful. My husband and I were the only ones in our little cliff-area, it was insane. Be sure to visit the CliffHanger bar--it's so rad! The owner feeds the sharks... more
