EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LONG BAY
ABOUT
At the South-west tip of the island, Long Bay or actually Baie Longue, is without a doubt one of the most beautiful beaches of Saint Martin. Surrounded by crystal clear turquoise water, this dreamy beach is home to Saint Martin’s prestigious and most exquisite hotel, Belmond La Samanna.
WHAT TO DO
The location of this beach being on the South-West tip makes this beach one of the more sheltered beaches on our coastline.
Combining beauty and stillness, Long Bay is an idyllic place to relax and reconnect with simple pleasures among friends and family.
Whether you are looking for an intimate beach for your group of friends or family, a romantic getaway with your loved one, or simply want to explore the most beautiful beaches of Saint Martin, Long Bay is a must see.
Dining
Well sheltered from the wind, Long Bay is perfect to anchor and have lunch or dinner on board. Surrounded by the beautiful cliffs of Terres Basses & the paradisiac white-sand beach and the turquoise Caribbean Sea horizon, this is what we call “DINING WITH A VIEW”!
Swimming & snorkeling
Swimming is great here, as the visibility is usually high. There is not a lot to see underwater , though you may encounter some sealife along the rocky coastline.
Cliff jumping
One of our favourite activities here is the cliff jump; its not for the fainthearted! Your captain will be more than happy to climb up with you to the ledge from which you can make a safe jump. Note: jumping is at own risk!
Tranquility
The hotel and villas uphold a calm and exclusive setting, thus one can enjoy the tranquility that our Caribbean Island has to offer.
Sunsets
One last thing, if you are a sunset lover, Long Bay offers breathtaking sunsets. If you wonder where to watch the sunset in Saint Martin, our Sunset Tapas Charter or Sunset Dinner Charter will bring you here for a stunning setting.
HOW TO GET THERE
By Boat
This beach has no access points from the land, apart from through the hotel. Unless you are a hotel guest, or are there to dine, it can be tricky to enter the beach by land.
The most common way to get here is by boat, which is why it is not a high traffic anchorage, apart from day boats who come to enjoy the pristine waters.
Whether you are looking for an intimate beach for your group of friends or family, a romantic getaway with your loved one, or simply want to explore the most beautiful beaches of Saint Martin, Long Bay is a must see.
One last thing, if you are a sunset lover, Long Bay offers breathtaking sunset spectacles! If you wonder where to watch the sunset in Saint Martin, a Cocktail Sunset Cruise around Long Bay is a wonderful island experience.
