Mullet Bay Beach.

Make this your permission slip to slow down. Mullet Bay is a Dutch-side beach stop near Maho, best enjoyed with a little preparation and very little ambition: bring water, find your spot and let the afternoon unfold.

A LITTLE LOCAL CONTEXT

Set your watch to the water.

Build the day around the beach itself. You can pair Mullet Bay with nearby Maho, but do not let a crowded itinerary steal all your time on the sand. Check the sea before entering and follow any local warnings; the same shoreline can offer different conditions from one visit to another. Keep a water-and-shade plan, especially with children, and arrange your transport before you settle into the happy business of doing nothing.

LET ONE GOOD THING LEAD TO ANOTHER

Maho & Mullet Bay

Two neighboring moods: Maho’s famous aircraft backdrop and Mullet Bay’s invitation to linger by the water. Give each its own moment, with a leisurely meal between the spectacle and the sand.

Cupecoy

Sandstone gives this corner of the Dutch side its unmistakable silhouette. Little coves and warm-toned cliffs make Cupecoy a place for close looking: the curve of a rock, the changing water, the color of late light.

Simpson Bay

A beach, a lagoon and a wonderfully full evening. Simpson Bay puts the island’s maritime life in the foreground, with boats, places to eat and plenty of reasons to let lunch turn into your plans for later.
