Orient Bay
Orient Bay sits on the Atlantic side of St. Martin, giving it a livelier, windswept energy compared to the calmer Caribbean beaches nearby — the trade winds keep things fresh and the nearly 2km of white sand stays stunning. This spot has a well-earned reputation as the Caribbean Riviera, with a buzzing strip of waterfront restaurants and watersports right on your doorstep when you come ashore.
