Speaking of plages, the French side boasts more than two dozen gems, with the best/most popular including Baie Orientale (Orient Bay) on the northeast coast just ten minutes from Marigot, dubbed the "Saint Tropez of the Caribbean" and known for its white sands and vibrant water sports scene (not to mention its nude section on the southern end); you'll also find plenty of bars, restaurants, and shops.
Anse Marcel (pictured here), by contrast – located up in the northwest a 15-minute hop from Marigot – sits astride serene, beautiful, and secluded cove perfect for relaxation; It´s also home to a marina and a luxurious resort named after the beach.
And on another sheltered bay, Plage Le Galion makes a wonderful choice both for families and windsurfers/kitesurfers.
