Hotels Close to Dawn Beach
Dawn Beach is a fine beach of sugar white powdery sand facing the East side of Sint Maarten. The name says it all: early risers may enjoy spectacular views of sunrise with St. Barths in the distance. Snorkeling is absolutely incredible. The coral reef is a bit off the shore, so you'll have first have to swim to get to the best snorkeling spots. The surf can sometimes be a little challenging, so for very young children or toddlers Dawn Beach is not always an ideal beach. It all depends on the weather !
It is a little hard to get here. The road that leads up and over the hills to the coast is a bit bumpy and windy, but the special driving experience is well worth it:
Since summer 2005, Dawn Beach started to catch up with other popular beaches, such as Orient Bay. The beach is getting more and more developed, and is currently undergoing a significant change. Before, it was a secluded, quiet and lightly serviced beach. Now, beach condo projects and other new developments are popping up, and the beach lost of its tranquility and laid back atmosphere. However, it all depends where you are at the beach. More to the middle of the bay, you can still enjoy fabulous views over to St Barths, and a quiet spot on the powdery white sand, see here:

Le Galion is part of St Martin´s Nature Marine Reserve. It's sometimes called "Baby Beach" and "Coconut Grove". Le Galion is surrounded by a coral reef, making the shallow water calm and good for snorkeling. Locals flock to this beach claiming the north end to be the most clear water on the whole island. Trade winds swooping across the Atlantic make this a popular spot for surfing, kite-boarding and windsurfing. There are loungers for rent. You'll also find picnic tables, restaurants and shops along the beach.

Hotels Close to Cupecoy Beach
Cupecoy is Dutch St. Maarten's semi-official nude beach. Sandstone cliffs give Cupecoy beach a dramatic golden backdrop, unlike any other beach on the island. Protected from the wind, this beach is perfect for those who enjoy "baking" in the sun. Dipping in the Caribbean Sea often or just lying on the edge of the rolling surf is recommended. If you're wearing nothing but your birthday suit, be sure, at least, to wear plenty of sunscreen!
Lounge chairs, umbrellas, cold drinks, and sometimes a BBQ are available for your enjoyment. There are several new condominium projects being developed in the area and it is not clear how much longer Cupecoy Beach can be enjoyed in privacy.
