Happy Bay, Netherlands - France

From series “Top 15 Most Romantic Beaches on Earth”
The charming island of St. Martin, located in the Caribbean Sea, will also be an ideal place for a romantic getaway. On its coast there are many wonderful beaches, one of the most attractive among them is Happy Bay beach. This sandy crescent-shaped beach is safely hidden behind a network of high hills and thickets of exotic plants. A walk to the beach itself promises to be an interesting event.

Happy Bay, Netherlands - France First, vacationers will need about ten minutes to climb a high hill, and then go down from it, passing through thickets of exotic plants. Happy Bay Beach is sure to appeal to lovers of relaxation in a secluded and uninhabited environment. The beach completely lacks any infrastructure and it is extremely rare to meet holidaymakers. Here you can spend hours admiring the seascapes, enjoy the silence in the shade of palm trees, and in the evening admire a beautiful sunset.

It must be mentioned that only a few experienced travellers who visit the island regularly know this beach. It is not easy to find the way to it independently. There is a charming stretch of coast between Grand Cayce Bay and Fraers, those who rest on the island for the first time, should better search the beach, in a company of an experienced guide. A secluded part of the coast is famous not only for its harmonious landscapes and tranquil surroundings, but also for the unspoilt beauty of the underwater world. Happy Bay is considered one of the best places on the island for diving with a mask. Next - Magens Bay
