Top Nature in Sint Maarten

My advice is to arrive before 3 PM if you want to snag a good spot. After that, the beach gets super crowded, and finding a place to sit becomes tricky.

Pack your own snacks and drinks! The beach bars can be pretty pricey, so I brought a cooler and saved a good chunk of change. Plus, you get to munch on your favorite snacks!

Make sure to download an offline map before you go. Cell service can be spotty, and getting lost in such a beautiful place isn't the best use of your time!

I suggest hitting up Parotte Ville right when it opens at 9 AM. You'll beat the crowds and have more time to interact with the birds without rushing

My advice is to bring your own beach chairs and towels if you can. The rental fees can add up quickly. I wish I had saved that cash for drinks instead!

My advice is to enjoy the sunset around 6:30 PM if you can. It's absolutely breathtaking and way less crowded then. Just make sure to get there a bit earlier to snag a good spot!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks, since the beach bars are kinda pricey. I did that and it saved me a ton while we lounged on the sand.
