One of the best beaches in Saint Martin. Clean and quiet beach, turquoise water and palms providing shadow for those who don't want to be in direct sun light all the time. It's easy to get here from Friar's.

On the island for the day with an RCCL cruise, we wanted a quiet beach away from the crowds heading in droves to Orient -- Happy Bay was just that. You need to go to Friars and then walk. Follow the somewhat hidden path from the far end of Friars, looking for little signs and arrows printed on rocks .... More

The beach is absolutely beautiful and favorite among locals. No access by car. You must go to Friars Bay (north side of the restaurant) and find the trail at the parking lot edge and walk about 15 minutes. I promise you won't be disappointed. Stunning beach, not crowded, typically no services unless some local decided to set up in the... More

Secluded, peaceful, beautiful beach and water. Buy food and drinks from Danny, or bring a picnic. Areas for nudists farther from Danny's. we spend all day here under our umbrella and relax!

Happy Bay Beach is now my most favorite beach in the world. A local told us that it's the last non-touristy beach in St. Martin. We took a cruise (Celebrity Reflection) to St. Martin in February 2013. From the port, we took a cab to Friar's Bay Beach then hiked to Happy Bay Beach. The 25-minute ride was about $30... More

We have been to Happy Bay beach a couple of time while on St. Martin and also sailed by it on a catamaran a couple times. The setting it reall pretty. It is a quieter beach, not near the number of people that some of the more widely known beaches have. You may find a few au naturale sunbathers there... More

Drove to Friar's Bay and easily followed the info here to walk to the far-end of the beach and then along the trail to Happy Bay Beach. Stay to the left, a spray painted arrow points the way near teh beginning. Took a couple in their 20s about 10 minutes to hike it and it was well worth it. A... More

Nice, quiet beach with beachside restaurants. Seashells when entering beach but overall nice. There are nicer beaches.

The Beach is a nice walk from Frair's beach. Fun to take the kids for an adventure walk. The beach looked beautiful...but nude people have taken over the beach. It is not a delegated nudist beach, so I was a bit put off. A few here and there, fine. A whole beach full when not a nude beach - not... More
