Water Sports for
both the Inexperienced and the Enthusiast...
Caribbean
Water Sports: Our beautiful Caribbean Dual flag Island,
St Maarten, has 36 white
sandy beaches, ranging from large popular beaches where numerous water
sports are available, including windsurfing, scuba diving, fishing and
boating, to small secluded beaches where visitors can just relax and
enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
All water sports are very popular here (with both the locals and
visitors) and include jet skiing, parasailing,
sailing and snorkeling.
Visitors to St Maarten can enjoy these water sports, or just lounge
around on any one of the stunning beaches.
A visit to St Maarten, along with explorations to its other adjacent
Caribbean islands will give even the most committed water sports
enthusiast the vacation of a lifetime.
Whatever the water sport that gets your juices running, it can be found
on St Maarten.
In fact
your entire vacation can be spent on, above or below the water, days
filled with water adventures ranging from the breathtaking views and
spectacular beauty of the underwater world while diving, surrounded by
thriving reefs and marine life during a day trip adventure, or (for the
more experienced) in exploring the ghostly hulls of underwater wrecks
during a night dive.
There
are many reefs within a short boat trip from shore which are ideal
for both the snorkeling and scuba diving enthusiast.
Then there are the "on" and "above" the water sports like surfing
(some of the best surfing beaches in the Caribbean are on St Maarten)
plus sailing, wind surfing, parasailing, boating, kayaking and jet
skiing etc.
So, you
have many choices to spend your vacation, "wet and wild" playing the
many water sports, or...
And then there are the
beaches...
The beaches of St Maarten look like scenery right out of a calendar.
Many facilities are available on the beaches, including sun beds and
umbrellas, together with bus stops, parking and food outlets.
Due to its Colonial history St Maarten has a "French" side and a "Dutch"
side, and the names of the beaches reflect the Colonial heritage of that
part of the island. Names like "Pointe De bluff",
"Baie Rouge" or "Baie aux Prunes" on the French side and "Cupecoy Bay"
on the Dutch side.
Whatever the origin of their names many of the white sandy beaches on
St Maarten are ideal for all manner of water sports, and for surfers
looking for that perfect wave St Maarten offers plenty of opportunities
to experience it.
However, the pristine ocean waters surrounding St Maarten provide so
many different water sport and recreational options for the budding
water baby and seasoned water sports enthusiasts alike that the only
time you will want to be out of the water is when you sleep at night
(after experiencing the nightlife, another story :-))
So,
for the Caribbean water sports enthusiast St Maarten is the
island that has it all!
