Grand Case is a small seaside town on the north-west coast of the French side of Saint Martin, looking across the Anguilla Channel, about 4.6 km in a straight line north-east of Marigot. It is the largest settlement on the French side of the island. Its long beach lies on a narrow strip of sand between two hills, separating the sea from three salt ponds behind the town. Its name comes from the old French for «the big hut», and many of its early residents were fishermen and salt workers from Anguilla across the water. Grand Case is known for its restaurants: more than twenty eateries and beach cafés line its main street of about a mile, serving French, Creole and grilled seafood dishes. Colourful traditional sailing boats line the beach, and the water is usually calm and good for swimming. The beach is public and free. Evening is the best time to visit, when the sun sets over the sea and the restaurants open, and a small airport for regional flights sits next to the town.
