Simpson Bay Lagoon

Parks & Nature · Simpson Bay, Sint Maarten

One of the largest inland lagoons in the Caribbean, shared between the Dutch and French halves of the island with the border running across its middle. The Dutch shore is the island's boating heart, ringed by marinas, waterfront restaurants and anchorages busy with everything from dinghies to superyachts. Calm, protected water makes it a favourite spot for kayaking, paddleboarding and sunset cruises.
