Mullet Bay Beach is a wide sandy beach on the south-west coast of Sint Maarten, about 8.5 km in a straight line west of Philipsburg, a short way north-west of Maho Beach. It is considered one of the loveliest beaches on the Dutch side of the island. The beach curves in a long arc of soft white sand, fringed by coconut palms and green hills, with turquoise water in front. Islanders flock here at weekends, and umbrellas and chairs for hire and small food stalls dot the sand. When the surf picks up in winter it becomes one of the island's best-known surfing spots, while on calm days the water suits swimming and snorkelling by the rocks at either end. You can walk along the shore from here to Maho Beach to watch the planes. The beach is public and free. Waves can be strong and currents dangerous on some days, so watch the flags and swim with care; mornings are calmest before the crowds arrive.
