Grand Case Beach.

For the traveler who plans the day around dinner, here is your afternoon. Enjoy the Grand Case shoreline, then change the scene from water to table. Keep the schedule light enough for a second look at the bay.

A LITTLE LOCAL CONTEXT

Saltwater, then supper.

The beach and the village belong together in a Grand Case visit. Take a little time to orient yourself before settling in, checking local conditions and available access. When you have had your fill of the shore, there is the delicious task of choosing a meal. Decide whether you want an informal grill or a reserved dinner, and prepare accordingly. A change of clothes can turn a simple beach stop into a whole evening.

LET ONE GOOD THING LEAD TO ANOTHER

While you're wandering.

01
French St. Martin area

Grand Case

A beach village with a serious appetite. Grand Case brings open-air grills and more elaborate dining into the same delicious conversation, with the shore never far from your plans. Arrive curious, leave the afternoon loose and make dinner count.

02
French St. Martin area

Marigot

The French-side capital invites a morning without much of an agenda. Browse around the waterfront, look up at Fort Louis and follow your appetite through a town where a small discovery can become the whole point of the day.

03
French St. Martin beach

Orient Bay Beach

Choose your own beach-day rhythm on the French side. Orient Bay puts water activities and beachside dining within the same picture. Some days call for a booking; others need little more than a towel and a good reason to linger.
