Guana Bay beach
On the east coast of Saint-Martin, in 3 km away from Philipsburg, there is a picturesque bay of Guana Bay. It is famous for its wide, stretching for 500 m beach with excellent sand. The powerful impact of the Atlantic leads to strong waves in this part of the island.

Beach description
The privacy of Guana Bay Beach affects its infrastructure, or rather, its absence. There are no bars and restaurants, so it is advisable to take food and drinks with you, and at the same time a towel and a parasol. But the lack of amenities is offset by spectacular views of the nearby hills and the islet of Saint-Barth. In addition, the beach has ideal natural conditions for surfing and bodyboarding.
Visitors of Guana Bay Beach can have fun in the gambling houses Westin Casino and Diamond Casino, as well as visit the Museum Yoda Guy Movie Exhibit, which is among the top three in the Caribbean.
Get directions
Guana Bay can be reached by car from any densely populated area of the island. The well-paved road leading to this Bay passes behind the great salt lake of Philipsburg.
When is the best time to go
