St. Maarten Beach

When kids are involved, beaching takes on a different perspective. Is the water calm and shallow? Is there an undertow? Are there sea urchins? Is there shade? Are there things for the kids to do? Luckily, St. Martin has some of the safest and most child-friendly beaches possible.

Most notable among these is Le Galion which is even nicknamed “Baby Beach” because of its shallow water, mile long stretch of white sand and plenty of shade. Don’t want the kids or yourselves for that matter, getting a sunburn that can ruin the rest of your vacation. Le Galion also has an activity center and a wonderful family-run restaurant. Near to Le Galion is the Butterfly Farm which you will want to take the kids to see on your way home.

Another child-friendly beach is at Orient Bay which is by far the most popular adult beach too. There are plenty of children’s playgrounds and fun activities such as trampolines and banana boat rides to keep the kids more than busy and tons of places to eat.
