The beach is bordered by luxurious villas and St. Maarten / St. Martin’s most luxurious hotel, La Samana. A very well protected bay with crystal clear water, a long strip of sand and very few people making Long Bay beach a most relaxing and secluded spot to simply chill out and enjoy the Caribbean.This is a French beach and it is also very secluded so to be prepared to see nudity! Don’t forget the binoculars.On the left side of the beach near the La Samana hotel is a wonderful cove with reef below it so make sure you check it out with snorkel gear.There is a parking just behind the beach with is usually more than sufficient.
