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.
