Anse Marcel

Anse Marcel

Anse Marcel is located on the North of the island. There is a steep uphill drive to get there, but it’s totally worth it. The drive has some stunning panoramic views that you won´t want to miss.

Anse Marcel is a beautiful beach for couples and families. The water remains calm because of the location in the bay. The white sandy beach and shallow and calm water makes this ideal for families with children of all ages.

There is plenty of free parking within close range of the beach. There are signs indicating where to go.

The Marina Port de Lonvilliers has facilities that include boutiques, shops and a restaurant.

You and your family will find this beach has everything you need and will make a great day trip over the hill. Or you can stay at one of our villas located directly in Anse Marcel, Del Mar or Casa Branca.

LGBTQ Information

St. Martin is considered one of the most gay-friendly travel destinations in the Caribbean. While there is not a distinctive gay scene, there are many cafes, bars, and restaurants which are popular with the gay community.

St. Martin | Sint Maarten is known for its cultural diversity with over 100 nationalities represented, gay and lesbian travelers will feel not only comfortable but welcomed everywhere they go.

The French and Dutch sides each have wonderful gay communities, however, you won’t find many exclusive gay clubs, bars, and restaurants which is a testament to how wonderful and accepting everyone is here.

Popular Beaches

Among the over 37 beaches there are three gay favorites to relax: Cupecoy Beach on the Dutch Side, Baie Rouge on the west of the French side and Orient Beach on the island’s northeast. All three beaches are clothing optional.

Full Marriage Equality

We at SXMSIR are proud of the French side which follows France’s law and recognizes full marriage equality.
